NASCAR Still Waiting Out Weather At Texas Motor Speedway

NASCAR is still "waiting out the weather in Texas as it tries to restart the Autotrader EchoPark 500 that was red-flagged on Sunday after 53 laps due to rain." The Cup Series playoff race, which was expected to resume at 9:00am CT this morning, has been "delayed until later in the day, at the earliest, as rain continues in the area around the Texas Motor Speedway." NASCAR is "hoping to find a window that’s long enough to complete at least half of the scheduled 334 laps to make it an official race." However, with the forecast "calling for wet conditions through Wednesday, the series is now faced with the prospect of having to postpone the race until next week so that the teams can get to Martinsville in time for Sunday’s Xfinity 500 at Martinsville Speedway" (FOXNEWS.com, 10/26).
