The rain created a nolo contendre, no contest, for NASCAR on Sunday. The Food City 500 for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series from Bristol Motor Speedway has been postponed to Monday afternoon at 1:00 p.m EST. NASCAR valiantly tried to dry the track in efforts to race today, but persisting rains caused a challenge.
Rain also caused pole qualifying to be cancelled on Friday. Kyle Larson will start from the pole position with Chase Elliott starting in the second position
FOX will go on air at 1:00 pm EST while Performance Racing Network will go on air at 12:30 pm EST.
The weather on Monday is forecasted to be overcast, but with a small chance of rain before 10 am with a temperature of 62 degrees.
I am 19 years old from Atlanta, GA. I have been following motorsports since I was born. Motorsports has been "passed down" in my family. I am named after NASCAR Hall of Famer, William Caleb Yarborough, also known as Cale. Growing up in the southeast, racing was something that was a Sunday tradition after church. What an honor it is to share that passion with others.
