Rain halts Dover’s on-track events Friday – Nascar

RELATED: Live weather updates

DOVER, Del. — Friday’s qualifying sessions for both the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series were canceled due to inclement weather at Dover International Speedway.
 
On-and-off bouts of rain dropped from the skies above the “Monster Mile” early Friday morning of the tripleheader weekend, but it came on strong during the second NASCAR XFINITY Series practice, sending cars off the track during two separate incidents. The session ended 10 minutes early.

The rain and wet track then washed out NASCAR Camping World Truck Series qualifying (scheduled for 2:15 p.m. ET)  and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying (scheduled for 3:45 p.m. ET).  

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race, the JACOB Companies 200 is (5:30 p.m. ET, FS1) still scheduled for Friday evening. Last week’s winner at Kansas, William Byron will lead the field to green after posting the fastest practice time on Thursday.

Earlier in the day, Erik Jones and Daniel Suarez topped XFINITY Series practices, while Kevin Harvick was tops in Sprint Cup practice. Harvick and Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start on the front row for Sunday’s AAA 400 Drive for Autism (1 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
