Corey Day will start from the pole position for the North Carolina Education Lottery 200, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series event scheduled for May 22 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. A sudden downpour washed out both practice and qualifying, forcing officials to set the grid by a random draw.
A somber milestone
The No. 7 Chevrolet that Day will drive was originally entered for Kyle Busch, who died suddenly on May 21. Busch had captured a victory in the same car at Dover the previous weekend, a triumph that now feels like a poignant footnote to the weekend’s proceedings.
Layne Riggs will line up alongside Day in second place, while the remainder of the field will be arranged according to the random draw that determines the starting order when weather eliminates traditional qualifying.
The race will be shown nationally on FS1, with streaming available through FUBO, which is offering a free trial to new subscribers eager to follow the action.
Forecasts call for rain to persist throughout the evening of May 22, raising the likelihood of a wet‑weather race that could reshape strategies and outcomes.
