NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series qualifying at Watkins Glen International has been canceled, according to The CW broadcast. Rajah Caruth will start first and the NOAPS practice session has been extended to 12:15 p.m. ET.
Due to track conditions with the rainy weather in the area, NASCAR canceled qualifying for the Mission 200 At The Glen and set the NOAPS lineup by the metric.
Since the No. 88 entry for JR Motorsports won last weekend at Texas Motor Speedway with Kyle Larson, Caruth will start first with his teammate Justin Allgaier sharing the front row with him.
Sheldon Creed, Brent Crews, and Sam Mayer make up the rest of the top five in third through fifth, respectively. Parker Retzlaff, Brandon Jones, Jesse Love, Austin Hill, and Sammy Smith will start in the sixth to 10th positions, respectively.
With 38 entrants, all will compete in the race on Saturday with zero DNQs.
NASCAR Cup Series practice and qualifying is still scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET later today.
