ARCA Menards Series officials canceled qualifying for the Springfield race at the Illinois State Fairgrounds because of poor weather conditions. As a result, the starting lineup for the series’ first dirt track race will be determined by owner points.
With this adjustment, Brenden Queen secured the pole position for the 100-lap event, followed closely by Max Reaves in second place.
