Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Inclement weather near Atlanta forced the cancellation of Saturday's NASCAR Cup Series qualifying at EchoPark Speedway.
With no time trials, Daytona 500 winner Tyler Reddick will start on the pole in Sunday's Autotrader 400.
Reddick's No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota will be joined on the front row by Joey Logano in the No. 22 Team Penske Ford.
Steady mid-morning rain and lightning forced the first cancellation of Cup Series qualifying at the track since 2008.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series (1:30 p.m. ET) and NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series (5 p.m. ET) both have races scheduled on Saturday.
