DOVER, Del. — For the second consecutive year, the NASCAR Cup Series will race on a Monday at Dover Motor Speedway.
NASCAR and the track made the announcement at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time.
With steady rain falling on the one-mile circuit on Sunday, the Cup Series will now contest the Wurth 400 at 12 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday.
It will be the fifth Monday race at Dover.
When the race takes the green flag on Monday, Richard Childress Racing’s Kyle Busch will lead the field to the green flag after qualifying was canceled on Saturday morning.
Fortunately, Monday’s forecast looks bright with partly sunny skies and nearly no chance of precipitation.
