Rain Cancels Xfinity Michigan Qualifying

Rainfall prompted NASCAR to delay and eventually cancel Saturday’s Xfinity Series qualifying session at Michigan International Speedway. The lineup will be set per the NASCAR rule book for this afternoon’s scheduled LTi Printing 250 (1:30 p.m. ET, FOX, MRN).

The preceding Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series practice was cut about six minutes short when the rain began to fall in the Irish Hills just before 10 a.m. ET.

The Monster Energy Series is also scheduled to be back on track at 11:30 a.m. ET for final practice.

The Toyota Tundra track-drying team has 14 units on hand in Michigan, plus nine jet dryers and three vacuums (two track vacuums and one Elgin Sweeper) to help with preparing the track for racing.
