NORTH WILKESBORO, N.C. — Rain hampered Tuesday’s opening day of racing activities during NASCAR All-Star week at North Wilkesboro Speedway, but one thing was clear to everyone there — asphalt late model racing is alive and well. • Unfortunately, rain moved in during qualifying for the ASA race that was scheduled for Tuesday night. Six more drivers will earn their way into the ASA event through a last chance race that will precede CARS Tour qualifying on Wednesday afternoon. The ASA race is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Eastern Time to be followed by the Pro Late Models and the Late Model Stocks. By contrast, Suarez was quickest in the ASA super late models with a lap of 18.934 seconds.
