A midafternoon downpour has washed away NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying.

The lineup for Sunday's Lenox Industrial Tools 301 will be set by owner points, with series leader Tony Stewart starting from the pole despite crashing and having to move to a backup car in Friday's opening practice.

It's the third time this season that Cup qualifying has been rained out.
