One Wet Paperclip: Weather Postpones Truck Race, Cancels Cup Qualifying

Due to weather, the Alpha Energy Solutions 250 at Martinsville Speedway has been postponed to Sunday after the Cup race.

As pace laps begun, snow flurries started falling. However, the snow stopped and the drivers were given the green flag. Ben Rhodes and Matt Crafton battled side-by-side early, but pole winner Rhodes would prevail exiting turn two on the second lap. A couple laps in, Noah Gragson got into Myatt Snider, bowing out his left rear fender. On lap 15, the first caution of the day came out for Mike Senica missing the garage entrance and stalling on pit road. He and his crew chief were called into the NASCAR hauler because he was reluctant to come in after NASCAR told him to. He was parked by NASCAR because of this. During this caution, snow and rain started falling heavier and NASCAR brought everyone down pit road and threw the red flag after 23 laps. Not long after, NASCAR called the race.

Qualifying for the STP 500 at Martinsville Speedway has also been cancelled, and the lineup will be set by car owner points, per the rulebook, putting points leader Martin Truex Jr. on the pole. This is Truexā€™s third consecutive pole and third of the season.
