NASCAR at Kentucky Speedway 2015: Lineup, starting grid for Quaker State 400
A look at the starting lineup and grid for the 2105 Quaker State 400 on Saturday from Kentucky Speedway.
For the second straight week rain washed out qualifying, with NASCAR instead opting to use Friday for practice. Kyle Larson will start in pole position, looking for his first win of the season. Larson opens Sunday 18th in points this season, with five top-10 finishes in 2015. His best finish this year was third place at the FedEx 500 in Dover.
Brad Keselowski, winner in Kentucky in both 2014 and 2012, starts in second position on Sunday, looking for his second win of the season. Keselowski ranks seventh in points this season.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who won the Coke Zero 400 last week in Daytona, starts in 10th position Sunday. He is second in points this season, behind only Kevin Harvick, who starts 15th in Kentucky.
NBCSN will televise the race, with coverage beginning at 7 p.m. ET and an approximate 7:45 p.m. green flag.
