NASCAR Xfinity race rescheduled to Monday noon after bad weather in Charlotte, William Byron takes pole

All NASCAR Cup track activities on Saturday (May 27) were postponed due to the persistent rain surrounding Charlotte Motor Speedway, including qualifying for the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday (May 28).

Around 3:45 p.m. ET, NASCAR officials stopped all track activities while still attempting to start Saturday's Xfinity Series race. As there was no qualifying, NASCAR's performance measure was used to determine the starting lineup for Sunday night's 600.

William Byron, who took first place in the last points-paying race of the series two weeks ago at Darlington, South Carolina, got the lowest metric score and will start on the first row on Sunday.

Byron's best result in six career appearances on Charlotte's 1.5-mile oval track is fourth in 2021. After 191 of the 413 laps in the previous race, he crashed and retired.

Brad Keselowski, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, and Kevin Harvick will round out the top five, joining Byron on the front row on Sunday night. Chase Elliott, Bubba Wallace, Ryan Blaney, Christopher Bell, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. round out the top ten starts. The All-Star Race champion from last weekend at North Wilkesboro Speedway, Kyle Larson, will start from the 12th position.

At 12:00 ET, the race is set to begin. It will be aired on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Performance Racing Network, and FS1 network.
