Kyle Larson will start on pole as Bristol qualifying rained out

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Kyle Larson will start on the pole on points because rain washed out qualifying at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Larson won at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., from the pole in the No. 42 Chevrolet and started first a week later at Martinsville Speedway. He has five top-two finishes in just seven NASCAR races this season.

The Cup series returns after its first off week of the season.

NASCAR scrapped qualifying Friday because of the rain that hit that track and could be a problem all weekend. The field is set by owner points.
