The NASCAR Cup Series is racing at World Wide Technology Raceway this weekend, with the Enjoy Illinois 300 marking the second race in The Chase. Starting position will be imperative on Sunday afternoon, with great emphasis on NASCAR qualifying on Saturday to determine the grid.
Last week at Darlington, the qualifying order proved especially crucial with the metric score determining the starting lineup since both practice and qualifying are canceled. Of note, The 16 drivers in The Chase are last to go in qualifying, so as to provide some level of fairness for lap times for those 16 teams. However, if qualifying were to be canceled again, the starting lineup would be determined by the metric score without factoring in which drivers are in The Chase.
