AUTO RACING

NASCAR: Weather washed out qualifying for the first stop this season at a short track and Martin Truex Jr. will start from the pole for Sunday’s Cup race at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia.

There was no qualifying session because of a wintry mix that moved through the area. NASCAR set the Cup field by owner’s points.

The Truck Series race at Martinsville was stalled by weather after 23 laps and will resume Sunday after the Cup Series event. Should the weather be fine, the race would resume about 7 p.m.
