Due to rain earlier on Saturday afternoon (May 30), NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series qualifying has been canceled at Nashville Superspeedway.
Jesse Love will start on pole per the NASCAR metric for Saturday night’s Sports Illustrated Resorts 250. It’s the second straight O’Reilly race to have qualifying canceled because of inclement weather after Charlotte Motor Speedway last week.
Love’s Richard Childress Racing teammate Austin Hill will share the front row with him. Corey Day will start third, Carson Kvapil will start fourth, and William Sawalich completes the top five starting spots.
Kyle Larson, driving the No. 88 car for JR Motorsports, will start sixth, while Ryan Sieg, Sammy Smith, Parker Retzlaff, and Garrett Smithley, driving the No. 0 car for SS-Green Light Racing, will start seventh to 10th on the grid.
NASCAR will still hold a practice session for the O’Reilly Series before their race tonight.
