Rain washed out the scheduled second round of qualifying for the BellSouth/Opryland USA 320 NASCAR Busch Grand National stock car race at Nashville, Tenn. The top 25 spots for today’s race were determined Friday in the first round of qualifying. Sterling Marlin will lead the field in the 320-lap race on the .596-mile Nashville Speedway USA.

Alex Zanardi led a 1-2-3 finish by Honda-powered cars and grabbed the pole position for the Rio 400, the first IndyCar race in South America today in Rio de Janeiro.
