TALLADEGA, Ala. – NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying has been canceled because of rain at Talladega Superspeedway, giving Jimmie Johnson the pole position for Sunday’s Amp Energy 500 and leaving Regan Smith as the only one of 44 drivers who will miss the race.

leewarren says:
With qualifying rained out, Regan Smith won't get to run in the race tomorrow. That's disappointing after what happened last year. #nascar

jim_utter says:
@SpecialKRocks I believe its Regan Smith, but checking.

Reid_Spencer says:
With 16, Regan Smith's No. 78 has one fewer qualifying attempt this year than Max Papis' No. 13, and that's the tiebreaker for making race.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

October 16th, 2009
Comments Off

Bob Pockrass, of SceneDaily.com, reports Hendrick Motorsports driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. said he is not a fan of smaller holes in restrictor plates for the Sprint Cup races at Daytona and Talladega. The new rule will decrease the air flow through the engines and sap them of an estimated 12-15 horsepower, which is expected to make a difference of a few mph.
