NASCAR 2022: Full starting lineup for the Verizon 200 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway

After an action-packed M&M’s Fan Appreciation 400, the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series arrived at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course in Speedway, Indiana. Fans were also eagerly awaiting the start of yet another exciting race this Sunday, June 31, 2022. The Verizon 200 at the Brickyard will be live on NBC and PRN at 2:30 pm ET.

The 22nd race of the 2022 NASCAR season will be contested on a 2.439-mile road course. The 38 drivers will compete for over 82 laps on the fourth road course track of the season to secure a chance at driving down Victory Lane.

In Saturday’s Qualifying races, Richard Childress Racing's Tyler Reddick won his first pole of the season at a speed of 99.378 mph. It was his second career pole after securing the first on another road course at the Circuit of the Americas in 2021. Daytona 500 winner Austin Cindric will share the front row with Reddick after turning a lap of 99.095 mph.

They will be followed by Chase Briscoe (98.962 mph), Christopher Bell (98.721 mph), and Joey Logano (98.476 mph) in the top five.

All-Star Race winner Ryan Blaney (98.444), Michael McDowell (98.33), Chase Elliott (98.226), Todd Gilliland (98.004), and Kyle Busch (97.429) completed the top 10.

The defending champion of the event, AJ Allmendinger, and NASCAR Cup Series debutant former F1 driver Daniil Kvyat faced issues in pre-race inspections twice as a result of which they qualified 20th and 36th respectively.
