Darlington’s first Chase race got wild when NASCAR canceled qualifying due to lightning—no rain, just pure electrical chaos. With no traditional qualifying, starting spots are now determined by a weighted formula: 30% owner points, 70% recent race finish. Tyler Reddick, the 3 seed, takes pole position, joined by Daniel Suarez (11) on the front row. Ryan Preece, who just snagged his first win to earn the final Chase spot, starts third. Denny Hamlin (1) lines up fourth, while Michael McDowell rounds out the top five as the highest-starting non-Chase driver. Fans missed practice and qualifying, but Reddick called it a dream scenario—he’s already feeling unstoppable.
