Heavy rain forces qualifying heats cancellation at Bristol
Heavy rain forced the cancelation of the heat races set for Saturday night at Bristol and the starting lineup for the Food City Dirt Race has been set by owner points.
Kyle Larson is listed to start from the pole. However, Larson will drop to the rear of the field for the start because his Hendrick Motorsports team changed the engine in his No. 5 Chevrolet.
Denny Hamlin starts second. Ryan Blaney will start third, Kyle Busch will start fourth, and Martin Truex Jr. will start fifth.
The rest of the starting top 10 are: Kevin Harvick (sixth), Alex Bowman (seventh), William Byron (eighth), Austin Dillon (ninth), and Joey Logano (10th).

Ty Dillon brings up the rear of the field by starting 39th.
