NASCAR 2022: Qualifying order for Enjoy Illinois 300 at World Wide Technology Raceway

The World Wide Technology Raceway is all set to host the inaugural NASCAR Enjoy Illinois 300 this weekend. Enjoy Illinois 300 is set to start at 3:30 pm ET this Sunday for a 240-lap action-packed race.

Located in Madison, Illinois, close to the Gateway Arch, the World Wide Technology Raceway boasts an oval design track with 1.25 miles of total track length. The track opened in 1967 and features 11 degrees of banking in turns 1 and 2, and nine degrees of banking in turns 3 and 4.

Apart from making the lone appearance on the NASCAR Cup Series calendar this season, the track will also host NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the NTT IndyCar Series.

The Enjoy Illinois 300 will feature 36 drivers. Just like the other NASCAR Cup Series races, practice sessions will open this racing weekend on Saturday, June 3, at 5:05 pm ET on FS1. The practice session is scheduled for 50 minutes for both groups.

This will be followed by the Saturday’s qualifying session at 11:00 am ET, which will determine the starting positions for Sunday's race.

While the qualifying rules will remain the same, the 36 drivers will be divided into two groups in an odd-even order and each group will run for two laps. The top-five drivers from each group will advance to the second round to win the pole for the inaugural Enjoy Illinois 300.
