Fox sorces say race will be cancelled: Although sources have indicated to FOX Sports Net’s Totally NASCAR that Sunday’s Winston Cup race at Loudon, N.H., will be cancelled, NASCAR announced only Friday’s qualifying at Loudon is cancelled(see story above). If the Winston Cup Series does race at Loudon Sunday, the starting order will be set by point standings. Totally NASCAR’s staff contacted every Winston Cup and Busch Series team Tuesday, except PPI Racing with Winston Cup drivers Andy Houston and Ricky Craven. Everyone is accounted for and safe. The only person outside the United States is car owner Richard Childress, who is in British Columbia, Canada. A test at the new Kansas Speedway was cancelled this morning. All teams, including Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Bobby Labonte, are driving the nearly 1,000 miles between the Kansas City, Kan. facility and their Charlotte, N.C. team headquarters. Tuesday’s edition of Totally NASCAR has been cancelled due to the attacks on the United States. For complete coverage of the NASCAR community’s reaction to this tragedy, tune in to FOX Sports Net at 6 p.m. local on Wednesday.(FoxSports)(9-11-2001)
