Rain in the Charlotte area has canceled Cup qualifying for the longest race of the year, the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night. There are more showers in the forecast, but the green flag for the race on Sunday is set for 6 PM ET. The starting lineup for the race has been set per the NASCAR rule book. William Byron will start on pole with Kevin Harvick joining him on the front row.
Brad Keselowski and Denny Hamlin will roll off from Row 2 just ahead of Kyle Busch and Chase Elliott. The rest of the top-ten starters are Bubba Wallace, Ryan Blaney, Christopher Bell, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Row 11 features Chris Buescher and Kyle Larson, who dominated the All-Star Race last weekend at North Wilkesboro Speedway. Larson's teammate Alex Bowman is returning to competition this weekend, after missing the last six weeks due to injury.
The Coca-Cola 600 is a crown jewel event, and one that every driver dreams of winning. Several former winners will be itching for another taste of victory tomorrow night, but there are plenty of others that are hungry to get their first taste of success. Busch, Keselowski, Larson, and Hamlin have each won this iconic event in the last five years. Harvick and Martin Truex Jr each have two Coca-Cola 600 wins, but another familiar face will be back behind the wheel on Sunday.
Jimmie Johnson is a four-time Coca-Cola 600 winner. Although his last victory came nearly a decade ago, Johnson has always run well at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The co-owner and driver of Legacy Motor Club will try to capture his fifth victory tomorrow night, which would tie him with Darrell Waltrip for the most all-time.
