Darlington Xfinity starting lineup

Yh5gO8l0pOKw
On the last lap during the NASCAR Xfinity Series Wawa 250 at Daytona International Speedway, Ross Chastain spins Kaulig Racing teammate A.J. Allmendinger, which results in Justin Haley taking the checkered flag.

Justin Haley will lead the Xfinity Series field to green Saturday at Darlington Raceway (12:30 p.m. ET on NBC).

Haley will be joined on the front row by Chase Briscoe. Rookie Harrison Burton starts third and is followed by Austin Cindric and Ross Chastain.

Haley earned the right to pace the Darlington Xfinity starting lineup after his performance in winning last weekend at Daytona.

Four races remain in the Xfinity regular season: Darlington, the Richmond doubleheader (Sept. 11-12) and Bristol (Sept. 18).

The Darlington Xfinity starting lineup is set by using a formula based on four statistical categories: owner points position, owner final race position, the finish and fastest lap from the most recently completed race.

Performance Metrics Qualifying is a total number based on the previous race. The formula is 15% of a fastest lap time position, 25% of the driver’s final race finish position, 25% of the owner’s final race position and 35% of the owner points position. Any ties will be broken by the Rule Book.
