MARTINSVILLE, Va. -- Rain delayed Friday's on-track activity at Martinsville Speedway for roughly four hours on Friday.
The first of three Friday practices for the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series was slated for a 10 a.m. ET start, but steady rain at the .526-mile track threw the schedule into question.
Shortly after 1:30 p.m. ET, a revised schedule was released, that will see Sprint Cup practice run from approximately 2 p.m. ET to 2:50 p.m. ET. The Camping World Truck Series will have just one practice that begins at 3 p.m. ET but will run until 5:30 p.m. ET. Sprint Cup Series Coors Light Pole Qualifying was pushed back from 4:45 p.m. ET to 6:10 p.m. ET.
Per a NASCAR bulletin sent to teams earlier this week, the opening round of qualifying will be 20 minutes instead of 15 minutes as it had been for the past four events.
Cars finally hit the track for Sprint Cup practice at 2:04 p.m. ET after another brief spell of wet weather put the session into a brief hold.
Sunday's 500-lapper, the STP 500 (1 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1), is the sixth race of the season and first short-track event of 2015 for the Sprint Cup Series. Saturday's Kroger 250 (2:30 p.m. ET, FS1) is the third race of the year for the Camping World Truck Series.
