Rain Stalls Qualifying at Charlotte
Rain clouds gathered over Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, prompting officials to call off the traditional qualifying session for the NASCAR Cup Series.
With the on‑track runs abandoned, series officials turned to the metric score — a composite of practice speeds and other performance indicators — to set the starting order for the Coca‑Cola 600.
Tyler Reddick emerged as the top‑ranked driver in the metric calculation, earning the pole position for the 600‑mile event.
The complete grid includes a mix of seasoned veterans and rising talent, featuring names such as Ty Gibbs, Shane van Gisbergen, Chase Briscoe, Michael McDowell, and a host of others ready to battle the night race.
Fans and teams now look ahead to Sunday’s race, where the metric‑derived lineup will shape strategy under the lights, while weather forecasts suggest a dry evening for the action.
