Larson was scheduled to start 18th in the Quaker State 400 (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, PRN, SiriusXM), but his Chip Ganassi Racing No. 42 Chevrolet will now drop to the rear of the field during pace laps.

Larson, who sits eighth in the Monster Energy Series drivers’ standings, started 40th in last year’s race at Kentucky and rallied to a second-place finish.
