Qualifying for Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway was rained out, forcing NASCAR officials to set the field according to the rulebook.
Based off of Friday’s practice results, Joey Logano and the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford Fusion will start in the 28th position. On Saturday, teams are scheduled to have two additional practice sessions to prepare for Sunday’s race. FOX Sports 1 will air coverage of the first session at 11 a.m. ET and FOX Sports 2 will broadcast final practice at 2 p.m. ET.
“It’s really unfortunate to have qualifying rained out, because I know both Brad and myself would have had better laps and would have been able to qualify closer to the front of the field,” said Logano. “I know Brad’s car is pretty dang fast in race trim and I don’t think we are that far behind. We are just going to have to adjust on it in practice tomorrow. We might have to take some chances to get the Shell-Pennzoil Ford some track position to get us up to the front of the field. If we can get up there, we will be fine. I’m not worried about our starting spot.”
The MyAFibStory.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway will air live Sunday, September 14 at 2:00 p.m. ET on ESPN. Race coverage will also be broadcast live on the Motor Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Channel 90.
