Grid briefing

Kyle Larson leads the Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help a Hero 200 starting lineup

How the front row was set

Kyle Larson secured the Darlington O'Reilly pole with Christopher Bell on the outside of row one, putting two experienced Cup winners at the front of the 38-car field.

What track position means at Darlington Raceway

Darlington's egg-shaped ends force setup compromise, while its abrasive surface creates tire falloff and the wall threatens a Darlington stripe.

Sport Clips Haircuts VFW Help a Hero 200 grid watch

Justin Allgaier won from fourth, passing both Cup regulars in the race outcome and showing why the scored grid and final order belong side by side.

Starting-order facts checked against Jayski Darlington O'Reilly race page. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
