Full starting grid for the B&L Transport 170 at Mid-Ohio Xfinity race

NASCAR is running road races this week, but at two separate tracks. The Cup Series is running in Sonoma while the Xfinity Series is coming to us from the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

The Xfinity Series is running the B&L Transport 170 at Mid-Ohio for the first time in two years. Last year’s race was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s back this year. It will air on Saturday, June 5 with the green flag dropping at 1 p.m. ET on FS1.

Given last year’s cancellation, 2019 winner Austin Cindric remains the defending champion and is the favorite to take home the checkered flag for a second straight year. He is installed at +165 at DraftKings Sportsbook. The next best odds belong to A.J. Allmendinger and Ty Gibbs who are each installed at +350. Justin Allgaier and Noah Gragson follow at +800.

Cindric has the pole position this weekend and Ty Gibbs joins him on the front row. There was no qualifying for the race, but instead NASCAR used a performance-metrics formula. The metric is split into 25 percent comes from a driver’s finishing position from the previous race, 25 percent comes from the car owner’s finishing position from the previous race, 35 percent comes from the team owner’s points ranking, and 15 percent comes from the fastest lap from the previous race.

Here is the full lineup for Saturday’s B&L Transport 170 at Mid-Ohio Xfinity Series race.
