Staff Report

Persistent
rain, and the forecast for more of it, forced NASCAR to cancel all of
Friday's on-track activity at Charlotte Motor Speedway, including the
NASCAR XFINITY Series Chase
Round of 12 finale.
The Drive for the Cure 300 will now run Sunday at 11 a.m. ET, broadcast on NBCSN.
The
starting lineup for Sunday's rescheduled race will be determined by the
XFINITY Series rule book, which sets the field by fastest-to-slowest
practice speeds from both of
Thursday's sessions. During final practice, Kyle Larson turned the
fastest practice lap (185.198 mph) of the day and will start on the
pole.
Erik Jones, who currently sits outside the top 8 cut-off line for advancement into the next round, will start second on Sunday.
Saturday
night's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Bank of America 500 -- the first race
in the Chase's Round of 12 -- remains scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on NBCSN.
