Due to the challenges posed by the coronavirus, NASCAR hasn’t been holding practice or qualifying sessions before most of the races since the season restarted in May.

Instead, the field has been broken up into four groups based on the season standings (1-12, 13-24, 25-36, 37-40), and positions assigned randomly within each group.
