The race was postponed to Sunday afternoon thanks to rain, so Matt Kenseth — holder of the real pole position in the race — and his fellow drivers will get underway at 12:30 p.m. ET.
The Bank of America 500 is the first of three races in the Contender Round of the NASCAR playoffs, where the 12-driver championship field will whittle down to eight.
NBC Sports Network will televise the race beginning with a pre-race Countdown to Green show at noon ET. The full race coverage begins at 12:30 p.m. with Rick Allen calling the race alongside analysts Steve Letarte and Jeff Burton, with Marty Snider, Mike Massaro, Kelli Stavast and Dave Burns from pit row.
The race can be followed online and via mobile devices through NBC Sports Live Extra. The race will re-air on NBCSN Monday at 2 p.m.
