Bad weather caused trouble at Daytona International Speedway on Friday, as lightning forced Monster Energy NASCAR Cup qualifying to be canceled.

That will leave the starting lineup for Saturday's Coke Zero Sugar 400 set by owner points. Joey Logano will start on the pole, with Kyle Busch beside him on the front row. Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr. round out the top five.

Only eight cars had gotten through inspection when lightning forced all activities to be put on hold Friday afternoon. NASCAR then made the decision to cancel qualifying because of time issues, given the Xfinity Series race is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET at Daytona.

It's not like Logano needed any extra advantage at Daytona. He finished fourth in the Daytona 500 earlier this year, and fourth at Talladega in the other superspeedway race.

The Coke Zero Sugar 400 begins Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Green Flag projected at 7:40p Eastern

WEATHER: The Weather Channel is forecasting cloudy skies with temperatures around 80 degrees for the green flag and dipping into the mid 70s after sundown. There is a 15-20% chance of rain and the humidity will be sweltering at around 90%

Looks like a rain delay. No projection for a start time.

To the rear: #24-Byron (backup car), #42-Larson (replaced fuel probe), #77-Haley (unapproved adjustments), #53-Gase (unapproved adjustments), #62-Gaughan (unapproved adjustments)

Something of note... Next season (2020), Daytona-2 will be moved to the last race of the regular season to add intrigue going into the playoffs, and the Indy Brickyard 400 race moved to the 4th of July weekend, or at least the closest weekend. As Daytona is a crapshoot, this does give a chance for one of those out of no-where racers to get in.
