NASCAR Cup Series 2025: Dover starting lineup with penalties applied
After qualifying action on Saturday was cancelled due to rain, NASCAR set the lineup for Sunday's Cup Series race at Dover as per their rulebook.
When a qualifying session is unable to be completed, NASCAR uses a performance metric that combines a driver's previous race finish (70%) and their current owner points position (30%).

Based on that metric, this time around, it's Hendrick Motorsports star Chase Elliott who is set to start Sunday's race, also known as the AutoTrader EchoPark Automotive 400, on pole.
Joe Gibbs Racing star Chase Elliott will start second, meanwhile, with Christopher Bell, Tyler Reddick and William Byron rounding out the top five.
On the flip side, it looks like it could be a long night for Kyle Larson, starting all the way down in 25th based on NASCAR's performance metric.
With that said, let's take a look at Sunday's starting lineup in full!
