After enduring a soggy day on Wednesday, NASCAR drivers across all three series were at the mercy of the weather once again on Thursday at Kentucky Speedway as rain canceled all Sprint Cup, XFINITY and Camping World Truck Series practice sessions along with Keystone Light Pole Qualifying for Trucks. NASCAR later said that XFINITY cars might get on track "if the track comes around in due time," according to a spokesman for the sanctioning body.
Ten NASCAR Air Titans have been cirulating the track since 9:30 a.m. and are continuing their drying efforts in order to get the Camping World Truck Series UNOH 225 (7:30 p.m. ET, FOX Sports 1) on track to race.
Since qualifying for the Truck race was canceled, the field will be set according to NASCAR Rule Book that states that the first 26 drivers in the field will be set by owner's points. This means two-time Truck Series champion Matt Crafton will start from the pole position in Thursday night's event, flanked by Tyler Reddick in the No. 19 Ford. Kyle Busch Motorsports teammates Erik Jones and Daniel Suarez will start second and third, respectively.
Since Thursday's Sprint Cup Series practice session was added to the schedule because two practice sessions on Wednesday were rained out, teams continue to wait for their first chance to test the new Kentucky rules package on the track.
The Sprint Cup Series has two practices scheduled for Friday, along with Coors Light Pole Qualifying. The XFINITY Series has qualifying and its race scheduled for Friday. Friday's schedule had not changed at the time this story was published.
