LONG POND, Pa – A rain storm that hit Pocono Raceway after qualifying for Sunday’s ABC Supply 500 forced the cancellation of final practice.
Originally scheduled for 4:45 p.m. ET, the session never got underway as rains hit Pocono not long before practice was slated to begin.
Rain grew heavier before finally stopping at around 5:00 p.m., but it ultimately dropped too much moisture for the track to be dried in time for final practice to be held.
