Chase Elliott secured the pole position for Sunday's Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, as Saturday's qualifying session was cancelled due to rain. The starting lineup was determined by the qualifying metric, placing Elliott at the front for the 301-lap race, scheduled to start at 2 p.m. ET on USA.

Elliott's impressive performance this season, with a remarkable average finish of 9.1 and his worst finish being 19th, has positioned him as a strong contender. It is worth noting, however, that New Hampshire Motor Speedway has proven to be a challenging track for Hendrick Motorsports, as they have not secured a Cup race victory there since 2012.

Joining Elliott on the front row will be Ryan Blaney, who emerged as the winner at Iowa Speedway last week. Blaney's recent success will certainly make him a formidable opponent in Sunday's race. William Byron will start in third position, while Christopher Bell will be right behind in fourth. Alex Bowman, another Hendrick Motorsports driver, will start fifth, contributing to the team's strong presence in the top five.

As the anticipation builds for Sunday's race, fans will be eagerly awaiting to see if Elliott can maintain his impressive form and secure a victory at a track that has proved challenging for his team. The battle for the Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway promises to be intense, with drivers eager to put their skills to the test on the demanding track.

Sunday's race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway is sure to be an exhilarating event, as fans watch their favorite drivers tackle the twists and turns of the iconic track. Will Elliott be able to continue his successful run this season and end Hendrick Motorsports' drought at this particular venue? Only time will tell, but one thing is for certain - Sunday's Cup race is bound to be an action-packed spectacle that racing enthusiasts won't want to miss.
