Kyle Larson Gets NASCAR Cup Bristol Pole After Qualifying Canceled

Kyle Larson will start on the pole for Saturday night's Bass Pro Shops Night Race. Qualifying was canceled due to rain.

NASCAR Cup Series driver Kyle Larson secured the pole position for Saturday's 500-lap event at Bristol Motor Speedway after qualifying was canceled due to rain showers in Bristol, Tennessee. The metric for determining the starting positions was based on 70 percent of Larson's finishing position in his most recent race and 30 percent of his position in the team owner points standings.

In the top five, Joey Logano will start in second, followed by Denny Hamlin in third, William Byron in fourth, and Carson Hocevar rounding out the top five.
