Welcome to the rain-soaked -- but spiffed up -- New Hampshire Motor Speedway, where the first day of this NASCAR weekend has already seen its schedule altered by the weather.

The Camping World Series East qualifying session originally slated for this afternoon has instead been canceled, leaving the field for tomorrow's Heluva Good 125 to be set by owner points.

It turns out Kyle Busch won't be quite as busy this weekend as he once believed he would be.

Because of a scheduling conflict, Busch will not drive in Saturday's Whelen Modified race at NHMS. Instead, Jeff Fuller will take the seat in Kevin Manion's No. 7 Chevrolet, while Busch will now compete only in the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series contests.

In 21 Nationwide Series events at NHMS, dating to 1990, the race has never seen a repeat winner. And the odds seem to favor the chances of that the streak continuing on Saturday.

According to its entry list, the Camping World RV Sales 200 presented by RVs.com -- hereby shortened to CWRS2PBR in the blogosphere -- will include only six former Nationwide winners at New Hampshire, and only one of them comes into the weekend ranked among the top 10 in series points.

The rain has subsided, the track is dry, and the cars are on the track at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The Modified rides just took their first laps of weekend practice under gloomy skies, and though there's been two cautions through about 11 laps, it appears as though they may get in qualifying after all today. There doesn't appear to be much in terms of significant rainfall headed for the area.
