Daytona qualifying rained out, Stewart awarded pole

Autoracing Betting Lines

07/03/2009 - Daytona Beach, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Rain washed out Friday's qualifying session for the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.

A thundershower moved over the 2.5-mile track shortly before the start of qualifying. Track drying efforts could not be completed in time to fit the session in before Friday night's 250-mile Nationwide race at Daytona.

According to the rule book, the starting lineup for Saturday's 400-mile event will be set by owner points, which puts Tony Stewart on the pole for the second straight race. Last weekend, Stewart was awarded the pole at New Hampshire after qualifying was rained out there.

Stewart currently holds a 69-point lead over Jeff Gordon, who will start on the outside pole.

Jimmie Johnson will roll off third, followed by Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards.

Denny Hamlin, Ryan Newman, Kyle Busch, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth will start sixth through 10th, respectively.

Max Papis and Mike Wallace did not make the field.

Saturday's race is scheduled to start just after 8:00 p.m. (et).
