With heavy rain pouring on the track, NASCAR cancelled the final round of qualifying for the Xfinity Series’ debut race at Portland International Raceway. That left Anthony Alfredo – who had the fastest overall time in the first round – as the polesitter, his first in the Xfinity Series.
Austin Hill, who qualified in Group A along with Alfredo, posted the second-fastest time of the session and will start on the outside of the front row for tomorrow’s (June 4) race.
Defending series champion Daniel Hemric will start third, Sam Mayer will start fourth and Jade Buford fifth in his return to Big Machine Racing.
Ty Gibbs, the fastest qualifier in Group B, will start sixth with Sheldon Creed seventh after being the fastest in practice earlier in the afternoon.
Connor Mosack, Justin Allgaier and points leader AJ Allmendinger rounded out the top 10 in qualifying.
The first round of qualifying had a handful of harmful spins, but the biggest incident came when Mosack made contact with Jesse Iwuji, sending Iwuji around. While trying to avoid Iwuji’s stopped car, Mason Filippi went on a wild spin through the grass.
