Dover starting lineup: Qualifying washout put Chase drivers up front

For NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup competitors, keeping an eye on their main rivals will be easy in Sunday's opening laps at Dover International Speedway. Qualifying was rained out on Friday, setting the field based on owner points.

That puts the Chase drivers at the front of the pack to open Sunday's Citizen Soldier 400 (2:15 p.m. ET, NBCSN). Points leader Brad Keselowski and Furniture Row Racing's Martin Truex Jr. will make up the front row for the race.
