Still raining

It is still raining...

They brought the top three qualifiers who will be starting Sunday's Sylvania 300 in to the media center a while ago. Kyle Busch, Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson. The field will be set by points because qualifying got rained out.

Carl Edwards is happy that qualifying got cancelled.

"This rain, I hate to see the rain for the fans and for any of the teams that had to go home, but for us this is a gift. We were struggling in practice, so this gives us a really good opportunity to get a good starting spot and a great pit stall selection. If we can get our act together tomorrow, we should have a good race, but we were hurting a little bit today."

Edwards was 33rd fastest in the only practice session today so I can see why he would be a bit happy or relieved to have qualifying rained out.

Kyle Busch was also happy with the washout. Why wouldn't he be? He's starting on the pole.

The Camping World East race, which was supposed to be run today at 5:10 p.m. was cancelled and will be run tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m.

About this blog:
I am hopeful that this will be a place where people can air their two cents' worth about a race, catch up on the gossip and share their opinions on the rules and regulations of NASCAR. I have always felt that there has been a need for such a place in Maine and that this blog helps to fill the void.
