The weather continues to wreak havoc on NASCAR’s on-track schedule at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend, including a change to Sunday’s Cup race start time.

NASCAR scrapped Cup qualifying early on Saturday when rain moved into the area but when a small break came worked feverishly to dry the track in hopes of getting teams some practice time. As it turned out, teams got on track for just over 4½ minutes before the rain returned and remainder of the 30-minute session was canceled. In that brief time, Carson Hocevar ended up with the fastest average lap speed at 127.533 mph and completed seven laps, the most anyone was able to finish.

Keselowski, who will start in the top 10 on Sunday based on the metric, said the dynamic of this weekend’s race by greatly altered by the weather and NASCAR’s willingness to use wet weather tires. “We’d rather start on the pole, right, have a shot at that and see us have practice and qualifying,” he said.
