  "account": "Heavy rain, a remnant of Hurricane Isaias, forced NASCAR to cancel all practice, qualifying, and racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday. Attempts to move sessions earlier proved unsuccessful. The NASCAR O Reilly Auto Parts Series race, scheduled for 4pm EST, has been pushed to Sunday. The Cup race, originally set for 8pm EST, remains on its original time. Kyle Larson is expected to start from pole position for the Cup race, with Chase Briscoe second. Carson Kvapil will begin on pole in the O Reilly Series, with Corey Day on the front row. Sheldon Creed leads the championship by 19 points, starting eighth in the postponed race. On Sunday, the track will open at 8am for parking, with the Fan Zone at 9am, the Tim Dugger concert at 11am, and suites and ticket gates opening at 12pm. A Tyler Hubbard concert will precede the Cup race. Friday's NASCAR Truck Series race and Kyle Busch's Celebration of Life were held dry, with Layne Riggs securing a win. Brexton Busch paid tribute to his late father, Kyle, by driving the No. 8 Richard Childress Racing Cup car in a special moment at the speedway.",
