LAS VEGAS -- On a cold and rainy afternoon at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. sat in his race car clad in jeans and a pullover, his cowboy hat resting upside down on the roof. There would be no on-track activity this day at the 1.5-mile facility -- in a matter of minutes, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series director John Darby would announce that everything had been canceled -- but Stenhouse remained nestled inside his vehicle, even as crewmen jacked up one side to change the qualifying setup to race trim.
