Pole Day Weather Decision

If Pole Day runs are rained out Sunday; would Saturday times stand to set the field including the Pole Winner? Can't remember many precedents for qualifying on Monday.

U'd sure hope so...it is contrived enough as it is!!! LOL...u'd hate to have it confused as a NA$KAR event........oh well...is what it is...thankfully they pulled together 33 cars/teams & the races have been really good of late...everyone can hope, maybe will be CLOSE to as exciting as the Little5 the night b4!!!

With the cars the way they are now, Does it really matter to anyone that isn't bumped other than the hype of being the pole sitter? Up until about 7 years ago it was a huge advantage to be top two or three rows. But not now Catching and passing doesn't seem to be a problem. Where in the period prior to this sometimes less than ten finished on the lead lap and if you were lucky. three were on the same straight on the same lap capable of catching and passing.
