Weather delays Monday resumption of Cup Series Playoff race at Texas

By

Persistent rain has again delayed the running of the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs race at Texas Motor Speedway.

RELATED: Full leaderboard | Hourly forecast

Fifty-two of a scheduled 334 laps were complete after Sunday’s start to the Autotrader EchoPark 500 before a nagging rain intensified at the 1.5-mile Fort Worth track. That forced officials to postpone the remainder of the event to a Monday resumption at 10 a.m. ET, but wet weather has placed those plans on hold.

Clint Bowyer is scored as the leader of the race in the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 14 Ford. Stage 1 is scheduled to end at Lap 105 with Stage 2 to end at Lap 210.

The 501-miler is the second of three races in the Round of 8 playoff bracket that will whittle the field to the four drivers who will compete for the Cup Series championship on Nov. 8 at Phoenix Raceway.

This story will be updated.

"NASCAR’s fleet of Air Titans and additional dryers got onto the track multiple times throughout Monday to combat the wet weather, but bouts of rain have severely hampered process. As of 4:30 p.m. ET, there is still no estimate as to when the track will be ready to race."
 
The Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 started Sunday afternoon, and 52 of a scheduled 334 laps were complete before wet weather forced a red flag. The race was set to resume Monday, but ongoing showers pushed that plan to a proposed restart Tuesday at noon ET (NBCSN, PRN, SiriusXM).

Continuing rain delayed Tuesday’s attempts at resuming the NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race from Texas Motor Speedway on hold, but track-drying efforts gave hope to a Tuesday evening restart. Officials have set a tentative time to roll cars back onto pit road to grid at 8 p.m. ET with hopes of firing the engines at 8:30 p.m. ET."...!!?

NASCAR officials have postponed the completion of the Cup Series playoff race from Texas Motor Speedway for a third consecutive day because of continuing rain Tuesday.

The Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 began Sunday, with drivers completing 52 of 334 laps before a light mist and drizzle escalated, forcing the event to be red-flagged. Nagging rain washed out Monday’s and Tuesday’s attempts to continue the race, pushing it to a Wednesday, 3 p.m. ET restart time (NBCSN/NBC Sports App, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio)."...!!!
