NASCAR 2023: Starting lineup for Wurth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway

After an action-packed GEICO 5000, the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series arrived at Dover Motor Speedway in Dover, Delaware, for Sunday's Wurth 400. The 400-lap event will be live on Fox Sports 1 and PRN at 1:11 pm ET.

The 11th race of the 2023 NASCAR season will be contested on a one-mile-long concrete oval track. 36 drivers will compete for a chance at driving down Victory Lane.

Motorsport journalist Bob Pockrass shared the starting line-up for Wurth 400 on his official Twitter account.

Richard Childress Racing driver Kyle Busch was awarded the pole for Sunday’s race after qualifying was canceled due to inclement weather. It marked his 33rd career Cup pole and he was joined by Christopher Bell on the front row.

The Cup Series drivers practiced on Saturday morning but rain returned later in the morning, so officials decided to cancel the qualifying session at 11:45 a.m. and set Sunday’s starting lineup by the rulebook’s qualifying metric. This means that Busch will start on pole due to his performance last week at Talladega Superspeedway.

Busch and Bell will be followed by Ryan Blaney, Brad Keselowski and Chris Buescher rounding out the top-five. Chase Briscoe, Tyler Reddick, William Byron, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Chase Elliott (the defending champion of the event) completed the top-10. Josh Berry, the replacement for the injured Alex Bowman, will start in the 14th starting position on Sunday.
