The NASCAR Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway was set to be an exciting one, with the Coca-Cola 600 being the longest race of the season. However, due to inclement weather, qualifying for the race was cancelled and the Xfinity Series race was postponed. Despite this, the race is still set to be an exciting one as the pole position was awarded to William Byron.

Byron, who drives for Hendrick Motorsports, will be starting from the pole position in the Coca-Cola 600. This is a great accomplishment for the young driver, as he has only been competing in the Cup Series for two years. He is also the first driver from Hendrick Motorsports to win the pole position for this race since Jeff Gordon in 2005.

The decision to cancel qualifying and award the pole position to Byron was made by NASCAR officials. The decision was made based on the current points standings, which put Byron in first place. This means that he will start at the front of the pack and have an advantage over the other drivers.

The Xfinity Series race was also postponed due to inclement weather. This race was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, but it will now be held on Sunday. This means that the drivers in this series will have to wait an extra day before they can compete.

Despite the changes to the schedule, the Coca-Cola 600 is still set to be an exciting race. With William Byron starting from the pole position, it is sure to be a thrilling event. Fans of NASCAR will be eagerly awaiting the start of this race and hoping that Byron can hold onto his pole position and take home the win.
