Elliott Wins Pole at Dover After Rain Washes Out NASCAR Qualifying
KENT COUNTY, DELAWARE, JUL 19 – Qualifying was canceled due to heavy rain, leading NASCAR to set the starting lineup by a metric combining previous finishes and owner points, giving Elliott strategic pole advantages.
- On Saturday, heavy rain washed out qualifying at Dover Motor Speedway, awarding Chase Elliott the pole for Sunday's AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400.
- With on-track sessions cancelled, NASCAR applied its qualifying metric, weighing 70% previous race finish and 30% owner points to define the Busch Light Pole Award.
- Joining Elliott on the front row, Chase Briscoe starts second with Christopher Bell third, Tyler Reddick fourth and William Byron fifth, while Michael McDowell through Kyle Busch fill positions seven to ten.
- Elliott will enjoy strategic benefits like first choice pit stall, Chase Elliott said `It’s a little different vibe, but we’ll take it`, and the altered lineup could influence playoff standings.
- With only six races left until the 2025 NASCAR playoffs, the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400 is scheduled for Sunday at Dover Motor Speedway, drivers will compete for key playoff points as the season nears its postseason phase.
