NASCAR: Rain washes out Fontana Cup Qualifying

Inclement weather has adjusted the schedule for on-track action at Auto Club Speedway on Saturday.

Rain lingered over the 2-mile speedway in Fontana, California, canceling NASCAR Xfinity Series practice and qualifying for Saturday afternoon’s Production Alliance Group 300 scheduled for 5 p.m. ET (FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio). However, Saturday’s Production Alliance Group 300 remains on schedule.

Per the NASCAR Rule Book, the starting lineup for the Xfinity race will be set by performance metrics based on last week’s season opener at Daytona, a formula that factors driver’s fastest lap time position (15%), driver’s final race position (25%), owner’s final race position (25%) and owner’s points position (35%). With 40 cars entered, two cars will head home following the qualifying cancelation due to the series’ 38-car maximum.

Additionally, Saturday’s Cup Series practice and qualifying sessions for Sunday’s Pala Casino 400  were also canceled. The starting lineup will be set using the same metric formula used to set the Xfinity grid. All 36 teams entered will race Sunday.
