Overnight rain soaked the track at Pocono Raceway, and Saturday’s schedule has been adjusted as drying efforts continue.



NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Keystone Light Pole Qualifying was set for 9:05 a.m. ET on FS1 before wet weather canceled the event. The lineup for the Pocono Mountains 150 will be set by practice speeds; William Byron will start on the pole.

The lone NASCAR Sprint Cup Series activity of the day comes at 11 a.m. with an 80-minute practice session on NBCSN. The Camping World Truck Series’ Pocono Mountains 150 is scheduled for Saturday (1 p.m. ET, FS1, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio)

Water seeping upward through breaks in the 2.5-mile track’s pavement briefly delayed the start of Friday morning’s opening NASCAR Sprint Cup Series practice. This was the only delay in Friday’s on-track schedule.


The Sprint Cup Series’ Pennsylvania 400 is set for Monday (11 a.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).
