Overview
- NASCAR canceled Saturday’s Cup qualifying at EchoPark because of rain and lightning, triggering the performance-based lineup process.
- Using the 2026 metric (70% most recent finish, 30% owner standings), Tyler Reddick earned the pole with Joey Logano second, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. third, Chase Elliott fourth and Brad Keselowski fifth.
- The 260-lap Autotrader 400 is scheduled for Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on FOX with radio coverage on PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.
- FanDuel lists Joey Logano, Chase Elliott and Ryan Blaney as +1000 co-favorites, with Tyler Reddick at +2500, while handicappers at SportsLine highlight Carson Hocevar as a +2000 longshot.
- EchoPark’s drafting-style layout tends to shuffle the field, but Reddick’s pole and preferred pit box secure a valuable tactical edge.
