The NASCAR Cup Series will now shift to the Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) for 312 laps around the 1-mile Instacart 500 on Sunday, Mar. 14. Brad Keselowski will start from pole instead of last weekend's winner, Kyle Larson. The Team Penske No. 2 driver may have finished second at Las Vegas, but he won the Busch Pole Award because of his second place in the points standings, with 149 in comparison to Larson, who is third with 147 points.The No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports (HMS) driver Larson will, however, start alongside the NASCAR veteran on the front row.Keselowski won Stage 1 of the Pennzoil 400, before Larson took matters into his own hands to win Stage 2, and eventually the race as well. It marked his first win with HMS after reinstatement to NASCAR.Denny Hamlin and Christopher Bell will make up the second row for the Phoenix race.The #2crew is going to love this! @keselowski will start on the pole for Sunday's race at @phoenixraceway! pic.twitter.com/QWr2Lmv34D— NASCAR (@NASCAR) March 10, 2021There will be no practice or qualifying for this fifth race in the NASCAR Cup Series because of the COVID-19 restrictions in place.The next qualifying session will be for the dirt-track race at Bristol Motor Speedway on March 28.Jason Biggs, an American actor and comedian, will serve as the Grand Marshall for the race and bring the field to life for the NASCAR Instacart 500.Yeah, you heard it right last night! @JasonBiggs will be our Grand Marshall for the #Instacart500 this Sunday 🌵 #NASCARReturns | @NASCARonFox pic.twitter.com/SxmEeVkBF0— Phoenix Raceway (@phoenixraceway) March 8, 2021Also Read: Kyle Busch caps good weekend at the home track with top 5 in Pennzoil 400How is the NASCAR starting lineup for the Instacart 500 at Phoenix determined?Paint it like one of your 𝓇𝒶𝒸𝑒 𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓉𝓁𝑒𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝓁𝑜𝑔𝑜𝓈#Instacart500 | #NASCARReturns pic.twitter.com/85VJTqmFCg— Phoenix Raceway (@phoenixraceway) March 10, 2021Since there is no qualifying, metrics determine the lineup for the NASCAR Cup race at PIR.
