Following the news of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s demise, multiple sports such as soccer saw their games being postponed in order to pay their respect. However, this also meant that changes would be seen in NASCAR after it was revealed by Bob Pockrass that this weekend’s practice and qualifying would take place at noon. Pockrass took to Twitter and stated [https://twitter.com/bobpockrass/status/1568608029930569729?t=t7OfUgWhKsdw9I8Nr2vx4Q&s=19], “With all the Premier League soccer games postponed today, the Cup practice and qualifying will be on the USA at noon.“ British Royal Family Trend [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nascar-news-nascar-crew-chief-once-announced-his-retirement-in-copy-of-infamous-british-royal-family-trend/] This would be a good thing for NASCAR fans around the US since most of the time, regular NASCAR race timings have been often criticized to start pretty late. THE KING OF NASCAR ONCE GOT TO MEET HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN Richard Petty is often regarded as the King of NASCAR since he holds a solid seven Cup Series Championship to his name. Back in 2007, Petty got the rare opportunity to meet with the Queen at Kentucky Derby. Queen Elizabeth II [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1219621429.jpg]WINDSOR, ENGLAND – JUNE 13: Queen Elizabeth II attends a ceremony to mark her official birthday at Windsor Castle on June 13, 2020, in Windsor, England. The Queen celebrates her 94th birthday this year, in line with Government advice, it was agreed that The Queen’s Birthday Parade, also known as Trooping the Colour, would not go ahead in its traditional form. (Photo by Toby Melville – WPA Pool/Getty Images) Ahead of the interaction, Petty stated, “If I meet the Queen, it’ll probably be a nod and that’s about as far as it’ll go. I don’t know if I could talk to her because I don’t speak English. I speak Southern American, and I don’t know if she would understand that or not.” Watch This Story: Rick Hendrick Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Jr React to the Tragic Demise of Nascar Pioneer [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/nascar-news-rick-hendrick-richard-petty-and-dale-earnhardt-jr-react-to-the-tragic-demise-of-nascar-pioneer/] The Queen was supposed to be at the upcoming Kentucky Derby that year. Petty mentioned that he would wear his iconic cowboy hat, which he wears to every race nowadays. He also joked that he had seen Her Majesty wear a big hat herself and that his hat would be of no match to that of Queen Elizabeth II. 

The upcoming NASCAR Cup Series race is to see an inadvertent change after the
news of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II passing came.
