Starting Lineup: NASCAR Cup Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona

Qualifying for Saturday night's NASCAR Cup Series Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway has been canceled due to persistent lightning in the area around the 2.5-mile superspeedway.

As a result, Ryan Blaney will start from the pole by way of the NASCAR Performance Metric Formula in the final race of the NASCAR Cup Series regular season. Alex Bowman, who finished second last weekend at Richmond Raceway, will start from the outside of the front row.
