Kyle Busch is still reaping the benefits from his surprise win last weekend at Talladega. The Richard Childress Racing driver will start from pole position at the Monster Mile for tomorrow's race after qualifying at Dover Motor Speedway was canceled due to rain. "I’ll take it," Busch said. "Starting up front, track position race, No. 1 pit box, that’s super-good to have here at Dover."

Christopher Bell will join his former teammate on the front row. Ford drivers Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski, Chris Buescher, and Chase Briscoe will start from Row 2 and Row 3 tomorrow. The rest of the top-ten starters will be Tyler Reddick, William Byron, Ricky Stenhouse Jr, and Chase Elliott. The lineup for the race was set using the qualifying metric that takes into account last race results, last race fastest lap, and current championship standings.

Kevin Harvick will make his final start at Dover from the 12th position, with rivals Denny Hamlin and Ross Chastain sharing Row 7. Josh Berry will be starting 23rd for Hendrick Motorsports, this time substituting for Alex Bowman, who suffered a broken vertebra in a sprint car crash this week. Berry, who will be driving the No. 48 for the next few weeks, was the team's main substitute driver while Elliott was sidelined earlier this season.

Because of the wild weekend at Talladega, several contenders will be starting in the back of the field tomorrow. Joey Logano starts 26th tomorrow while Bubba Wallace rolls off in 28th position. Austin Dillon starts last, and will be in a backup car after crashing in the practice session this morning.

All cars were able to practice this morning, but the session was cut short by about two minutes as the rain moved into the area. The weather forecast for Sunday doesn't look promising, so NASCAR officials have moved up the start time by an hour, with a green flag time of 1:11 PM ET.
