Kim Coon, Kyle Petty, and Dustin Long preview what to expect when the Cup drivers take to the dirt for the third time at Bristol, with Petty saying he expects to see aggression and Long predicting chaos.

UPDATE ... All track activity has been canceled for Friday at Bristol Motor Speedway because of inclement weather.

Weather permitting, NASCAR Cup and Craftsman Truck Series drivers will get their first on-track look at Bristol Motor Speedway’s dirt surface Friday.

Two sessions of Cup practice and two sessions of Truck practice are scheduled at Bristol Friday. The first practice -- for trucks -- is scheduled to begin at 5:35 p.m. ET, although Friday’s weather forecast calls for rain much of the day.

Truck and Cup qualifying races are scheduled Saturday prior to the scheduled 8 p.m. start of the Truck feature.

Sunday’s Cup race, the third on Bristol dirt, is scheduled at 7 p.m. ET.
