The national anthem was sung, the invocation given, yet the rains would not let up. After an extensive effort to dry the track the jet driers were stopped and the trucks were covered on pit road.
As the pace car made laps around the .526-mile speedway trying to assess the conditions, the rains continued to fall and NASCAR officials were forced to make the call to postpone the event.
When the race begins on Monday afternoon at 12 noon ET, Rick Crawford will start from the pole with Shane Sieg to his outside. Johnny Benson, Ron Hornaday Jr. and Colin Braun will make up the rest of the top-5. Gates are scheduled to open at 9 a.m. ET with the start of the race scheduled for 12 noon.
