Rain washes out Friday events at Chicagoland

A weather system in the upper Midwest brought several inches of rain to the Chicago area on Friday, postponing and canceling several NASCAR events at Chicagoland Speedway in the suburb of Joliet, Illinois. The Camping World Truck Series race was supposed to be held this evening, but will now be held on Saturday after the Nationwide Series race. The rain also canceled Sprint Cup qualifying, giving Kyle Busch, the fastest driver in first practice, the pole. The final Nationwide Series practice also was not held. Hopefully the weather in the area will cooperate on Saturday and Sunday, especially since Sunday's Cup race is the first of the ten-race Chase tournament.
