DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- An afternoon rain shower is hardly unusual in Florida.
Tony Stewart starting on the pole because of a qualifying rainout is becoming almost as commonplace.
NASCAR canceled Friday's time trials at Daytona International Speedway after a thunderstorm drenched the track, and as a result, the Sprint Cup points leader will start from the top spot because of rain for the third time this season.
