NASCAR Xfinity Series qualifying today: Kyle Larson starts 19th in Xfinity race later this afternoon at Indianapolis

INDIANAPOLIS - Kyle Larson hit the bricks this Saturday afternoon in qualifying for the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

During qualifying today, he set a lap time of 54.641 seconds, good enough for a 19th place starting spot in today's race, but he is far from being done on track today. Due to weather cancelling practice for the NASCAR Cup Series yesterday, the governing body moved the session to today for a 2 p.m. start time. There will be 25 minutes allotted for all entries to test their cars on track before qualifying begins at 2:35 ET. 

Following the conclusion of Cup Series qualifying, Larson will climb back into his Xfinity Series car for 250 miles on the yard of bricks.
