Rain, rain go away...

Rain washed out a portion of the on track activities Saturday @ Martinsville.

The Camping World Truck Series squeezed in final practice and qualifying before the wet weather hit.

The cup series won't get in any additional track time before Sunday's race.

"For me a rain delay is trying to get (NASCAR) to call it as soon as possible so I can go home especially when we are this close to the house. I'm an hour away so I can go eat dinner at home (in North Carolina)." - Clint Bowyer

Sunday's forecast for Martinsville calls for mostly sunny skies, a high near 70 and a 20% chance for rain. Good news!
