The NASCAR Cup Series is at Talladega Superspeedway this weekend for the Jack Link’s 500. While there was already no practice scheduled for the superspeedway, Cup Series qualifying was wiped out on Saturday by the weather. As a result, the NASCAR starting lineup for Sunday was determined by the metric.
While there were 41 entrants for Sunday’s race at Talladega, the canceled qualifying means that Casey Mears (No. 62 car) won’t make it into the 40-driver field. The NASCAR starting lineup for Talladega was determined by the metric score, factoring in recent results.
