While the green flag isn’t scheduled until 3:19 p.m. ET, TNT’s coverage will begin at 2 p.m. The pre-race show will last for an hour, with race coverage beginning at 3 p.m. For the fourth year in a row, Adam Alexander will handle the lap-by-lap coverage with Wally Dallenbach Jr. and Kyle Petty providing color commentary. Radio coverage will also be available on Performance Racing Network, beginning at 2 p.m.
Jamie McMurray will begin Sunday’s race in front after edging out Marcos Ambrose for the pole. It was the second time McMurray took the Toyota/Save Mart 350 pole, as he also won in 2007. That race didn’t end well for McMurray — he was passed for the lead with eight laps to go before he ran out of gas with three laps remaining and ultimately finished 37th.
Weather could be a factor during Sunday’s race, as meteorologist Brian Neudorff’s forecast includes a slight chance of showers throughout the race. While rain could hit, Neudorff predicts the race will be completed. Here’s a full look at Sunday’s TV schedule.
