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.

At Bristol Motor Speedway on Friday, the NASCAR Cup Series' qualifying session was canceled due to afternoon rain showers. Kyle Larson, who previously won at World Wide Technology Raceway, secured the pole position for Saturday night's 500-lap event. The starting order was determined by a metric that took into account 70 percent of the car's position in the most recent race and 30 percent of the car's position in the team owner points standings.

Joey Logano, Denny Hamlin, William Byron, and Carson Hocevar followed Larson in the top five positions.
