Bristol Dirt: Format, Start Times, Entries, Everything to Know

BRISTOL, TENN. — Rain washed out NASCAR Cup Series and Craftsman Truck Series on-track activity Friday, leaving everything to Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday features each series’ four 15-lap qualifying races. The Truck Series’ qualifying races begin at 4:30 p.m. ET, while the Cup Series’ races begin at 6 p.m. (TV: FS2, Radio: SiriusXM NASCAR Radio)

A random draw set the qualifying races’ lineups. Then the qualifying races will determine the main event’s lineups, based on a driver’s passing points combined with points for where they finish.

Passing points are the difference between a driver’s starting spot and finishing spot.

If someone starts ninth and finishes fourth, they get five passing points and seven points for finishing fourth.

Finishing Position	Points
1	10
