Rain washes away Friday’s on-track schedule at Bristol Dirt

NASCAR officials have canceled Friday's on-track activity at Bristol Motor Speedway's dirt track because of excessive rain. Two practice sessions were scheduled for each the NASCAR Cup Series and Craftsman Truck Series, starting at 5:35 p.m. ET. But showers at the .533-mile track and the forecast for more precipitation through the day forced the full cancellation.
