It was raining Friday at Chicagoland Speedway.
Unfortunately, we kid you not. And with thunderstorms possible about the time qualifying is supposed to take player, there's a possibility the first race in the Chase for the Sprint Cup will see its lineup set on points.
Friday's early practice for Xfinity Series drivers was washed away after about 20 minutes of track time. Cars were scheduled to return to the track in the afternoon.
Attention turned to Cup drivers, who about 1:30 ET were to get their first practice laps on the 1.
