NASCAR Cup race day preview

What: Race 18 of 36

Track: 2½-mile oval

Race distance: 400 miles, 160 laps

2018 winner: Erik Jones

Last race: Alex Bowman won in Chicago.

Fast facts: Because he leads the Cup Series in points, Joey Logano will start from the pole. Qualifying was canceled Friday after a delay for lightning. … William Byron will start at the back of the field because his car was changed after a practice crash. … NASCAR added 10 laps to each of the first two stages for Saturday's race. Stage 1 will end after 50 laps, and the second stage will be complete after 100. The sanctioning body hopes the change will ensure that fuel mileage won't dictate the results. … The series will run at Daytona without restrictor plates this weekend for the first time since 1987.

Next race: Quaker State 400, July 13, Kentucky Speedway, Sparta, Ky.
