A Rain‑Soaked Qualifying Session
Rain forced the cancellation of the NASCAR qualifying session at Nashville Superspeedway, reshaping the grid for the upcoming Sports Illustrated Resorts 250.
According to the series rulebook, the starting order will be set by a combination of practice speeds and manufacturer performance, positioning Chevrolet at the front of the field.
Jesse Love will lead the pack from pole position, a result that reflects the weather‑induced shuffle rather than a traditional knockout format.
The Chevrolet contingent will occupy 31 of the 38 starting spots, underscoring the brand’s historical advantage on the 1.33‑mile concrete oval.
Practice data revealed Carson Kvapil topping the speed charts with a single‑lap average of 155.082 mph, while his 10‑lap consistency averaged 154.030 mph, the best among all competitors.
William Sawalich followed closely with a speed of 155.057 mph, securing a strong starting position near the front of the field.
Other notable practice performances included Justin Allgaier, who logged a speed of 154.936 mph and will line up 17th, and Kyle Larson, whose 153.245 mph lap placed him 15th despite being ineligible for series points.
Toyota will field six entries, while JJ Yeley will be the sole Ford representative, starting from the 37th position after a modest practice showing.
The upcoming race promises a competitive showdown, with rain‑affected qualifying adding an extra layer of strategy for teams and drivers alike.
