RELATED: Weather updates from the track
The start of Thursday's NASCAR Camping World Truck Series practices were delayed due to wet weather at Charlotte Motor Speedway, but a persistent fleet of Air Titan track-drying units got trucks on the track at 6:45 p.m. ET for a one-hour session.
The opening one-hour session was set to begin at 12:30 p.m. ET, but was unable to get underway as crews worked to dry the 1.5-mile track. A second practice, originally set to commence at 2:30 p.m. ET, also was canceled. The final practice, scheduled for 4:30-5:55 p.m., got moved back but ultimately went into the books.
A NASCAR spokesperson said there were 12 Air Titans and eight conventional jet dryers on hand this weekend. Two more jet dryers were en route from Martinsville Speedway on Thursday afternoon.
Friday's NC Education Lottery 200 is set for 8:30 p.m. ET with television coverage on FS1 and radio coverage on MRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio. Qualifying is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. ET on Friday with TV coverage on FS1.
