Rain washed out NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series qualifying for Friday night’s North Carolina Education Lottery 200 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. As a result, the starting lineup was set by way of the NASCAR Rule Book.
Corey Day will start from the top starting spot in the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet Silverado that Kyle Busch was scheduled to drive before his tragic passing on Thursday. Day was awarded the pole as the No. 7 team had the best performance metric of any other team, thanks to Busch’s dominant win at Dover Motor Speedway a week ago.
Layne Riggs will start from the second position, while Kaden Honeycutt, Ty Majeski, and Brandon Jones rounded out the top-five starters for Friday night’s NASCAR Truck Series event.
