Austin Hill of Richard Childress Racing will start on the pole for Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Texas Motor Speedway after rain in the Fort Worth area, canceled Friday’s practice and qualifying sessions.
The starting lineup was set by the NASCAR metric, which is based upon 70% off the previous race finish by the car owner and 30% by the owner’s points position in the standings.
Hill is joined on the front row by Justin Allgaier. Jesse Love third, Jeb Burton fourth and Harrison Burton fifth.
Making news for this race is that Kyle Larson, driving in place of injured Connor Zilisch. He will start 20th in the field which has 38 cars. Zilisch is sitting out this weekend as he recovers from a lower back injury suffered in a last-lap crash last weekend at Talladega.
The race is scheduled to start at 2:05 p.m. ET on the CW Network.
