Rain forced NASCAR Sprint Cup Series officials to cancel qualifying for Sunday's 63rd annual Tums Fast Relief 500 at the .526-mile Martinsville (Va.) Speedway. Rain showers moved over the track Friday afternoon and have pestered the Cup garage since.  The wet weather continued Saturday morning and NASCAR made the decision to line up the field based on owners points and the rule book.

 

David Gilliland will lead the Front Row Motorsports entries by starting 31st in Sunday's 500-lap grind at the bump-and-run, paperclip-shaped oval.  Travis Kvapil will start 35th and J.J. Yeley will start the No. 55 Ford 43rd.

 

Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth, first and second in points will be on the front row.  Dennis Setzer and Derricke Cope both did not qualify for the feature event.

 

The race will be televised live on ESPN beginning at 1:30 p.m. ET.
