DOVER, Del. — All track activity at Dover International Speedway for Friday has been canceled due to inclement weather.
Friday’s opening practice for Sprint Cup Series teams was scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. ET. Coors Light Pole Qualifying was set for 3:45 p.m.
Now, the lineup for Sunday’s AAA 400 (2:30 p.m., NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR) will be set per the NASCAR rulebook, meaning the 43-car field will be set based on current points standings.
That will put Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Matt Kenseth , Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards 1-2-3, with Joey Logano (Team Penske) and Jimmie Johnson (Hendrick Motorsports) completing the top five.

Activity in three series — Sprint Cup, XFINITY and K&N Pro Series East — was scheduled to take place at the 1-mile track. However, rain fell steadily in the area all morning as Hurricane Joaquin churns away from the East Coast.

Friday’s season-ending K&N race, the Drive Sober 125, has been rescheduled for approximately 9:30 a.m. ET Saturday while the start of the Hisense 200 XFINITY Series race, 3:30 p.m. ET (NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio), remains unchanged.
