The NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series Fleetio 200 is scheduled for September 5 at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina, a 1.366‑mile oval that has become a proving ground for the sport’s rising talent.
Qualifying was delayed by inclement weather, with radar alerts prompting officials to pause sessions and wait for clearer conditions before Carson Kvapil could lead the field to the green flag, securing pole position.
Justin Allgaier joined Kvapil on the front row, and the starting grid featured a strong contingent of Chase participants, as all 12 drivers in the playoff cohort managed to qualify within the top fifteen spots.
