Found this.............

"current year owner points will replace practice speeds for determining race eligibility and starting position in the event adverse conditions prevent qualifying from taking place."

"Morning at Martinsville Speedway is looking mostly dry with a small chance of a morning shower. Odds of getting Monster Energy Cup Practices and Camping World Truck Series Qualifying complete is between 35 to 45 percent. As we head into 2 p.m. for the Alpha Energy Solutions 250 Truck series race the odds of racing start to drop below 20 percent as the precipitation moves over the track. It is looking like 0 to 5 percent likelihood we get any of the Monster Energy Cup Series qualifying started or complete Saturday evening."

Saw on Mike's weather page it's likely to be Sunday night racing. And cold!

No race today......

I saw several pictures posted on Twitter yesterday evening and they were getting a very nice snow dumping on the track.

I'm a dummy .should have just put Truex on pole

Oh my!!    I didn't finish my roster when they pushed everything back so I thought I would do it this morning......  I TOTALLY FORGOT! I did have BB as my garage driver so I just had to put him into an empty spot.

I'm with ya there billsfan. I had Logano.  Lesson learned for the next time.  I even mentioned the "what if" scenario.  

for san also.  

Sigh, I pulled Kyle out of the garage.  That'll leave me with 7 races.  Gonna have to show more restraint on future races!

Congrats bills! Wow, nip and tuck between, you, gomey, and I.

Congrats Bills! I'm in the same boat with BB, Aug. Fortunately I had put him as my garage driver before NOT completing my roster. I had to pull him out just to have a 4th driver.

I don't think I have ever missed a full roster line up in fantasy in all the years we have been playing!

Thanks guys! Couldn't get much closer than today's results. I've stunk up the joint so far this season
Yep, I know Aug, you mentioned it, I read the weather that 90 percent chance of no qualifying and I still didn't change it lol

I know San. I'm in the same boat with several drivers . I figure I'll deal with it when I get there. The super speedways can be a crapshoot with wrecks and what not . I still prefer last year's format.

Don't forget to pick your pole winner!!!

Beh, I picked the wrong Busch brother.  Do I get 2.5 pts?  lol

Off to a solid start in my $$ fantasy baseball league.  Hope in 6 months this holds! Been with this group for my 7th season now. I'm tired of finishing 3rd 3 seasons in a row. Just been breaking even.

Great start! Good luck.

Thanks bills! $300 profit for 1st place, $50 profit for 2nd, break even for 3rd. 4th - 10th has to cough up $50

I did get the right Busch brother. Someone whose name I won't mention (but it begins with "san" and ends with "gria") informed me Kyle won the poll, lol

Hahaha Aug, you don't think I would have told you that you won that pick, do you?!?!!?

Somebody please put KyBu into the wall!!

Was Kyle a bad boy today? Didn't watch any of it, Masters is on here.

Congrats Gomey!

I needed all the help I could get and KyBu in the wall would have helped me....lol

Crap, I missed!

Me too! Darn it

So San? Did you pick KyBu?

Of course not Bills! I had Joey!

Looks like Bristol may be expecting rain tomorrow also..

Yeah, I've been following some of the Nascar met guys and delays look to be in play.

Hey guys... just read on Twitter that they have moved the start time up to 1pm tomorrow. Not sure that will help with the incoming rain but wanted to let y'all know to make sure you had your picks made.

Thanks for the heads up San!

Looks like it'll be a washout for today. Rain already moving into the area and per HRRR the track area should get 2" with it not moving out until 8pm'ish

Well that stinks .Nothing on sports wise as it is already and now no race (most likely) May be a day to binge watch shows if no good movies on.

Let's go racing!

Damn, I can't believe they are actually getting to start! Just turned in on as a wreck ensued.

I can't believe they got it started either! Thank goodness I don't have Truex or Chase today!

Yeah well, I do!! Dammit!!!! Chase!!

I'm not burning Joey yet though.... I will wait and see if I should or just take my hit with Chase

Sorry San!

She says as she laughs looking at points!!

Dammit, my boy one stage 1 and I didn't pick him!

Lol San-I hadn't checked points.

And I have Beer Boy winning Stage 2.

I had Jimmie Johnson on my original roster then took him off for Jones

ooh... you may have a good shot with him on Stage 2!

Not sure they will make the halfway point today

I hope they don’t get it to halfway, though tomorrow looks bad too! Plus have work, but we could record it

Yeah, they may have snow on the backside tomorrow!

Try again tomorrow at 1:00 PM.
