NASCAR at Dover: Starting lineup for the Drydene 400

NASCAR is headed to the Monster Mile this weekend for Sunday's Drydene 400.

NASCAR is racing at the track nicknamed the “Monster Mile” this weekend with the Drydene 400 at Dover International on Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on FS1.

After 12 races this season, Martin Truex Jr. is the lone driver with more than one checkered flag, and he won his third race of the season last Sunday at Darlington Raceway. And Truex will start on the pole for Sunday’s Dover race with his teammate, Denny Hamlin — who remains at the top of the driver standings, despite not having a win (yet) — on the front row with him.

But the starting lineup wasn’t determined through qualifying. Because of the challenges related to racing during the COVID-19 pandemic, most race weekends will not include practice or qualifying sessions. So in the absence of qualifying, NASCAR determines the starting lineup with a formula based on these factors:

• 25 percent: Driver’s finishing position from the previous race
• 25 percent: Car owner’s finishing position from the previous race
• 35 percent: Team owner points ranking
• 15 percent: Fastest lap from the previous race

Here’s the starting lineup for Sunday’s Drydene 400 at Dover.
