A sudden downpour over North Wilkesboro Speedway forced NASCAR to cancel the final qualifying session for the Window World 450, meaning the drivers will not get a fresh chance to set their race‑day speeds before the event.
Nevertheless, Ryan Blaney will still start from the coveted pole position, a reward for his strong performance in last week’s race and his current standings in the championship, with Ty Gibbs joining him on the front row.
The remainder of the top‑10 lineup reads like a who’s who of the sport’s rising talent, featuring Christopher Bell, Carson Hocevar, Tyler Reddick and Denny Hamlin, while traditional contenders such as Chase Briscoe, Kyle Larson and Bubba Wallace will have to fight their way forward from deeper in the field.
Practice Session Set for Saturday Evening
NASCAR has confirmed that a practice session will take place later on Saturday evening, giving teams a final opportunity to fine‑tune their cars and strategies before the race, and fans can expect live updates on the series’ official social media channels.
