USA TODAY 301: NASCAR qualifying canceled at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, lineup set
Another track with flat corners and the promise of tough passing awaits the NASCAR Cup Series on Sunday at New Hampshire for the USA TODAY 301.
And yet again, where a driver starts could have a lot to do with where he finishes, especially in a 301-mile race.
However, qualifying was scrubbed due to weather on Saturday. There were benefactors, particularly Chase Elliott, who will start from the pole position as the field was set by NASCAR's metric. Last week's winner, Ryan Blaney, will start alongside Elliott on the front row with William Byron, Christopher Bell and Alex Bowman rounding out the top five.
The USA TODAY 301 is set to begin at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday afternoon.
Here's a look at the full starting lineup:
