Grid briefing

Carson Kvapil leads the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series at Kansas starting lineup

How the front row was set

Inclement weather canceled Kansas practice and qualifying. The NASCAR metric awarded Carson Kvapil his first career pole and placed Cup driver William Byron second.

What track position means at Kansas Speedway

Kansas is a progressive-banked 1.5-mile oval with several grooves and a fast upper lane near the wall.

NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series at Kansas grid watch

Taylor Gray won from P10. Kvapil's P1 is therefore an official scored start, not evidence that he turned the fastest Kansas lap.

Starting-order facts checked against Kansas O'Reilly weather lineup report. A post-qualifying inspection or unapproved adjustment can still send a car to the rear without changing its scored starting position.
