Sprint Cup practices, XFINITY qualifying canceled

RELATED: Updated weekend schedule

 

Saturday's two NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practices as well as Coors Light Pole Qualifying for the XFINITY Series were all canceled at Texas Motor Speedway due to a damp track and poor drying conditions.

Air Titans were on the 1.5-mile track early, but weepers -- water seeping up through the cracks on track -- significantly slowed the process, keeping the Sprint Cup cars in the garage for all of Saturday.

 

Brad Keselowski will start from the Coors Light Pole position in Sunday's AAA Texas 500. The Team Penske driver will have Kevin Harvick on his outside.

 

With Saturday's pair of practice sessions canceled, Friday's three-round qualifying session and 85-minute opening practice stand as the only track time for Sprint Cup drivers in Sprint Cup vehicles.

 

The XFINITY Series race took the green after a brief delay from its scheduled 3:30 p.m. ET start time.
