The Xfinity season opener has been rescheduled for 11 a.m. on Monday, February 19 and will be broadcast on FS1, MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.<\/p>\n

During a break in the weather on Saturday afternoon, the Xfinity Series cars were able to qualify. Richard Childress Racing teammates Jesse Love (a Sunoco rookie) and Austin Hill ran 1-2 in time trials, with Love securing his first pole position in his first career attempt in the series.<\/p>\n

Hill, a four-time winner with RCR last year, is the two-time defending winner of the Xfinity season opener at Daytona. Hill posted a time of 49.705 (181.068 mph) seconds in qualifying, narrowly losing the pole to Love\u2019s 49.702 (181.079 mph).<\/p>\n

Veteran AJ Allmendinger, who returns to the Xfinity Series full-time this season, will start third, with Parker Kligerman beside him in the fourth spot.<\/p>\n

New Zealander Shane van Gisbergen, winner of last year\u2019s Chicago Street Race in his first NASCAR Cup Series start, had an auspicious beginning to his NASCAR Xfinity Series career with a fifth-place qualifying effort in Kaulig Racing\u2019s No. 97 Chevrolet.<\/p>\n

After qualifying, the rain picked up later in the afternoon, forcing the postponement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
