Rain washed out NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series qualifying at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday, which led to the starting lineup for the race being set by the NASCAR Rule Book.
As a result, Justin Allgaier, who had the best performance metric value from last weekend’s event at Dover Motor Speedway, will lead the field to the green flag on Saturday afternoon.
Corey Day, who won last weekend’s event at Dover, will start from the outside of the front row.
Sam Mayer, Brandon Jones, and Connor Zilisch will round out the top-five starters for Saturday’s Charbroil 300 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
