NASCAR 2022: Starting lineup for Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway

After an action-packed Go Bowling at The Glen, the 2022 NASCAR Cup Series arrived at the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida. Fans were also eagerly awaiting the start of yet another exciting race this Saturday, August 27, 2022. The Coke Zero Sugar 400 will be live on NBC and MRN at 7:00 pm ET.

The 26th race of the 2022 NASCAR season will be contested on a 2.5-mile Superspeedway. The 37 drivers will compete for over 160 laps in the regular season finale to secure a chance at driving down Victory Lane.

Motorsport journalist Bob Pockrass shared the starting line-up for Coke Zero Sugar 400 on his official Twitter account:

In Saturday’s rain-washed-out qualifying race, Kyle Larson won his fourth pole of the season and 14th pole of his NASCAR Cup Series career. The lineup was determined by the NASCAR rulebook’s qualifying metric, which means that Larson will start on pole based on the results of last week’s race at Watkins Glen International. His teammate Chase Elliott, who finished P4 last week, will share the front row with Larson.

They will be followed by Joey Logano, Daniel Suarez, and Christopher Bell rounding out the top five.

Tyler Reddick, Kevin Harvick, Chris Buescher, Michael McDowell, and Alex Bowman completed the top 10.

The defending champion of the event, Ryan Blaney, will start 16th as he looks to secure his playoff spot.
