Bad luck for NASCAR fans, but good luck for Chase Elliott who will now start on the pole after qualifying was rained out at New Hampshire. The Magic Mile needs to use some of that magic to make the rain go away.
Chase Elliott gets a big break and is rewarded for his hard work in recent weeks. Moving up to the points lead in the regular season standings, consistently finishing near the front each week. It’s been a solid season for Elliott overall.
Of course, it isn’t an official pole award. The order is set by the metric. NASCAR hopes to have practice so teams can get their cars dialed in. Then they hope Mother Nature is nice enough to let us have an Xfinity Series race today, too.
Rain is good for corn and, in this case, Chase Elliott. Not so much for NASCAR overall.
This is a developing story…
