Rain delayed qualifying for the Jiffy Lube 300 by over an hour. That rain also robbed the Cup cars of the precious bite it takes to get around this flat track. The first driver out, Sterling Marlin, ran a time that was over two seconds slower than what he ran in final practice. Craven’s pole speed, as good as it was, was 0.100 slower than the fastest time turned in during the afternoon practice session.(GoRacing)
