Darlington, S.C. — Busch series points leader Martin Truex Jr. will start up front after rain washed out qualifying Friday for the Bi-Lo 200.
The cars were lined up based on owner's points for today's race at Darlington Raceway. Kyle Busch, 161 points behind Truex in second, will start second. Greg Biffle, Kevin Harvick and Justin Labonte round out the top five.
With a gain of 30 points Saturday, Truex can clinch his first Busch championship for car owner Dale Earnhardt Jr. Truex would be the first rookie to win the Busch title since his car owner did it in 1998.
"It's easy to be a car owner when the car runs good," Earnhardt said. "I'm looking forward to the race this weekend."
Truex finished fourth at Darlington in March.
Busch won the pole here in the spring. He has gained 47 points on Truex the past two races at Atlanta and Phoenix.
