Practice and qualifying were washed out earlier in the day, with the starting lineup set per the NASCAR Rule Book.

JR Motorsports driver Justin Allgaier led the field to the green flag of the Charbroil 300 from the pole and remained out front in his No. 7 Chevrolet at the time of the race stoppage.

There was an early caution on the second lap when Sam Hunt Racing’s Harrison Burton spun in Turn 3 after contact with Richard Childress Racing driver Jesse Love.
