  "summary": "Rain forced NASCAR to cancel practice and qualifying for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Series at Charlotte Motor Speedway during the Charlotte weekend, leaving drivers without a chance to qualify for the Blue Cross NC 300. The decision was made to avoid the worst weather, with sessions moved two hours earlier, but the rain persisted, resulting in the cancellation. NASCAR will now determine the starting lineup for the Blue Cross NC 300 using its performance-based formula, which gives 70% weight to each car’s finish in the previous race and 30% to its position in the owner standings.",
