A sudden shower rolled over the Concord area just hours before the scheduled NASCAR Truck Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, dousing the track and forcing officials to halt the traditional qualifying session.
Rule‑Book Grid Takes Over
With the clock stopped and the surface still damp, series officials turned to the rule book to determine the starting order, a procedure that has become common in recent rain‑affected weekends.
Corey Day will lead the field from the pole position, followed by Layne Riggs in second, while Ty Majeski is slated to roll out in fourth place.
Caleb Costner, who had been entered in the lineup, will not take the green flag after failing to meet the entry requirements, leaving a spot open in the grid.
The decision preserves the integrity of the championship standings while giving teams a clear picture of what to expect when the race finally begins, allowing crews to focus on strategy and preparation.
Fans gathered at the speedway will see a lineup that reflects both the randomness of weather and the competitive spirit of the series, as drivers ready themselves for a battle that promises overtakes on the Roval layout.
