Rain continues to plague a sad weekend in Charlotte, as the NASCAR world mourns the loss of 41-year-old champion Kyle Busch.
So far, there has been no on-track activity. Practice and qualifying for both of the lower divisions was canceled, and the Truck race has been postponed twice already.
While they did manage to get on track for practice ahead of NASCAR's longest race, qualifying for the 67th running of the Coca-Cola 600 has been canceled as well.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. lead the 45-minute practice ahead of misting conditions.
Championship leader Tyler Reddick will lead the field to the green flag, sharing the front row with Ty Gibbs.
Watkins Glen winner Shane van Gisbergen will start third, Michael McDowell fourth, and Chase Briscoe fifth.
Ryan Blaney, Chris Buescher, Austin Cindric, Austin Dillon, and AJ Allmendinger will fill out the remainder of the top ten.
Katherine Legge, who qualified 26th for the Indianapolis 500, is attempting the 'Double' and will start 37th in the Coca-Cola 600. And while we wait for actual racing to begin, Busch's No. 8 remains at the top of the track's scoring pylon...
All 39 entries will start the race. The full starting lineup can be found below:
