Rain washes out NASCAR Nextel Cup qualifyingUPDATE A reader points out, Dear AutoRacing1, NASCAR drivers are the greatest in the world! What, they can't go out in the rain, on a road course, with wet weather tires? Are they worried that these "world class" drivers will be outshone by PJ Jones, Ron Fellows and Boris Said? Or are they worried about damaging their precious car of yester-tomorrow? David Koeberlein
08/10/07 Friday afternoon's NASCAR Nextel Cup Series qualifying session at Watkins Glen International was cancelled due to inclement weather. As a result of leading the point standings, Jeff Gordon will start from the pole Sunday in the Centurion Boats at The Glen.
