FORT WORTH, Texas - Even rain delays are bigger in Texas.
Hours of track-drying efforts were for naught on Friday evening at Texas Motor Speedway as practice and qualifying in the NASCAR Xfinity Series were canceled due to rain which fell earlier in the day.
The starting lineup was instead determined by NASCAR's rulebook. Corey Day, who will make his second career start in the Xfinity Series this week behind the wheel of the Hendrick Motorsports No. 17 Chevrolet, will start 33rd. Day finished 21st in his first event in the series at Martinsville Speedway earlier this year.
Kyle Larson will also pull some spot duty, driving in relief of the injured Connor Zilisch in the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet. Larson will look for his second Xfinity win in just three starts this year and will roll off from the 20th position.
