  "account": "The NASCAR Cup Series was set to qualify for the Cook Out Southern 500 on Saturday, but Mother Nature intervened. The single-car session and practice were canceled, leading to the setting of the starting lineup by metric. Tyler Reddick was awarded the pole position for Sunday night's race, while Daniel Suarez, a fellow Chase driver, will start from the second position. This cancellation has put several Chase drivers behind in the starting lineup. However, for Reddick and Suarez, it has been a benefit. The full starting lineup for the race includes Tyler Reddick, Daniel Suarez, Ryan Preece, Denny Hamlin, Michael McDowell, Austin Cindric, Chase Briscoe, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Austin Dillon, Alex Bowman, Christopher Bell, Brad Keselowski, Joey Logano, Josh Berry, Riley Herbst, Cole Custer, Bubba Wallace, Chase Elliott, John Hunter Nemechek, William Byron, Todd Gilliland, Corey Heim, Ross Chastain, Ryan Blaney, Kyle Larson, Shane van Gisbergen, Ty Dillon, Ty Gibbs, Noah Gragson, AJ Allmendinger, Connor Zilisch, Austin Hill, Zane Smith, Carson Hocevar, Chris Buescher, Erik Jones, Cody Ware, and Chad Finchum.",
