Man, Mother Nature just wreaked havoc on Charlotte Motor Speedway, washing out all the on-track action for Saturday, October 10th. We’re talking practice, qualifying, everything for both the Cup Series and the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series got dumped because of rain and the remnants of Isaias.
Charlotte Gets Pushed Back A Day, Here’s When To Watch
The Blue Cross NC 300, that O’Reilly Auto Parts Series race everyone was hyped for, is now pushed to Sunday, October 11th. It’s set for an 8 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Central start, right after the Cup Series race. Seriously, the National Weather Service forecast for Sunday is calling for rain chances to taper off by mid-afternoon, so we should actually get both races in. Fingers crossed, right?
Kvapil On Pole After Washout
But here’s the kicker, the real gem from all this chaos: Carson Kvapil. Dude’s gonna be on the pole when the green flag finally drops for the Blue Cross NC 300. They used the rule book metric to set the lineup since qualifying was a no-go, and Kvapil still came out on top. That’s huge. Starting P1 always gives you an edge, especially when you’re looking to make a statement in a series as competitive as the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series.
So, we shift gears to Sunday night. Kvapil’s got a massive opportunity starting from the pole in the Blue Cross NC 300. After all that rain, everyone’s chomping at the bit to see some racing, and you gotta believe Kvapil’s gonna be pushing hard from the jump. It’s gonna be a wild Sunday double-header at Charlotte, don’t miss it.
