That was a short-lived return to the racetrack. The Xfinity Series\u2019 Alsco Uniform 300 is back under the red flag once again at Charlotte Motor Speedway.<\/p>\n
The good news of a return to racing dissipated in grand fashion, as NASCAR brought the field back down to pit road for another stoppage. Mother Nature has a vendetta against the NASCAR Xfinity Series this weekend.<\/p>\n
Continuing, the original announcement to delay the race on Monday came after visible droplets continued to fall on the track, even as NASCAR tried to push on through the inclement weather. Many drivers and even JR Motorsports patriarch Dale Earnhardt Jr. questioned what was taking so long to display the red flag.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis seems excessive,\u201d Earnhardt Jr. tweeted, accompanying a rain cloud emoji.<\/p>\n
Additionally, drivers Brett Moffit and Rajah Caruth told their teams the rain was worse than the broadcast would lead on, with Caruth telling his team, \u201cIt\u2019s straight up raining. Like we\u2019re not loose. I\u2019m driving on water.\u201d<\/p>\n
Time will tell if the rain will only affect the NASCAR Xfinity Series or the Cup Series as well, but one has to keep in mind the Coca-Cola 600 is slated to kick off at 3:00 p.m. on Monday, and the weather is not cooperating.<\/p>\n
Moreover, as a result of the canceled practice and qualifying runs, the starting lineup for the Coca-Cola 600 was automatically set according to the rule book instead of performance in qualifiers. Charlotte Motor Speedway will see\u00a0William Byron in the No. 24 car start from the pole position<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cByron won the Cup Series\u2019 most recent points race at Darlington Raceway and leads the series with three victories in 2023,\u201d explained\u00a0NASCAR\u2019s official release<\/strong><\/a>. \u201cThe performance metric based on Darlington sets the starting lineup for the longest race of the schedule, factoring 15% of fastest lap time position, 25% of the driver\u2019s final race finish position, 25% of the owner\u2019s final race finish position and 35% of the owner points position.\u201d<\/p>\n The full starting grid for the Coca-Cola 600 can be found below, from the aforementioned Byron to seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson, who will roll off in P37.<\/p>\n #24 \u2013 William Byron#4 \u2013 Kevin Harvick#6 \u2013 Brad Keselowski#11 \u2013 Denny Hamlin#8 \u2013 Kyle Busch#9 \u2013 Chase Elliott#23 \u2013 Bubba Wallace#12 \u2013 Ryan Blaney#20 \u2013 Christopher Bell#47 \u2013 Ricky Stenhouse Jr.#17 \u2013 Chris Buescher#5 \u2013 Kyle Larson#21 \u2013 Harrison Burton#1 \u2013 Ross Chastain#45 \u2013 Tyler Reddick#31 \u2013 Justin Haley#22 \u2013 Joey Logano#19 \u2013 Martin Truex Jr.#54 \u2013 Ty Gibbs (R)#14 \u2013 Chase Briscoe#2 \u2013 Austin Cindric#41 \u2013 Ryan Preece#10 \u2013 Aric Almirola#99 \u2013 Daniel Suarez#7 \u2013 Corey LaJoie#43 \u2013 Erik Jones#16 \u2013 A.J.
