{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}
The NASCAR Cup Series field will be chasing Chase Elliott at the start of the delayed Folds of Honor 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway as he was assigned pole position for Sunday's race.
The field was set based on the season standings, with random draws being held for positions 1-12, 13-24, 25-36 and 37-40 each based on owner points. It will be Elliott's second start from pole this season after he won the spot through traditional qualifying at Las Vegas before the season was suspended days before Atlanta's originally scheduled March date due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Brad Keselowski is the defending race winner and also won in 2017, while current points leader Kevin Harvick won at the track in 2018.
