Overview
- Rain forced the cancellation of on-track qualifying at Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday, May 30, so NASCAR moved to its prescribed metric to set the lineup.
- The metric awarded Jesse Love the pole and placed Austin Hill on the front row with Love, with Corey Day, Carson Kvapil and William Sawalich rounding out the top five.
- Kyle Larson is listed as a substitute in the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevrolet and will start sixth, while Cleetus McFarland is entered in the No. 33 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet to start 38th for his second series start.
- NASCAR kept a pre-race practice on the schedule and the Sports Illustrated Resorts 250 will run 188 laps at the 1.33-mile concrete oval with TV coverage on The CW and radio on PRN and SiriusXM.
- The metric combines recent owner and driver points and finishing history to set starting spots, a method used when weather cancels qualifying and one that can change team strategy for tire and pit planning on race night.
