BRAINERD, Minn. - Mother Nature did not want to see qualifying completed at the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals at Brainerd Int'l Raceway. Rain came early this afternoon, and like a cruel prank, the rain would stop long enough to dry the track, only to start again. All fields are set based on qualifying that has been run. Eliminations will begin at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, beginning with Stock Eliminator. Pro Classes are scheduled to begin their elimination rounds at 11:00 a.m.
