Rain is the Race Day Winner

NASCAR Cup & Xfinity and ARCA Postponed

Wet weather has been a major factor this weekend. Neither the Monster Energy Series nor the NASCAR Xfinity Series took to the track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Xfinity Series 'Lilly Diabetes 250' was moved from Saturday afternoon to Monday morning at 10 a.m. ET due to rain. Then the continuing inclement weather forced the start of today's Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series 'Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard' to be delayed to tomorrow as well.

Call in sick tomorrow. Doctor's orders.

Start your Monday morning off right with the @NASCAR_Xfinity race at 10AM ET, followed by the #Brickyard400 at @IMS at 2PM ET on @NBCSN. pic.twitter.com/WCQGRjHZBz

Below is NASCAR's Updated Schedule

MONDAY, September 10
Race Day Schedule

10 a.m.: NASCAR Xfinity Series 'Lilly Diabetes 250' (100 laps, 250 miles), NBCSN/NBC Sports App (Canada: TSN5)
2 p.m.: Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series 'Big Machine Vodka 400 at the Brickyard' (160 laps, 400 miles), NBCSN/NBC Sports App (Canada: TSN1, 3)

The ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards '200 Shore Lunch 200 presented by Trail Load' has been postponed due to bad weather. The front, associated with Tropical Storm Gordon, moved in on Friday and persistent rains throughout the day convinced the series and track officials to postpone the race to Saturday, October 6.

Since no on track activity has taken place at Lucas Oil Raceway, the event will still include a full round of practice, General Tire Pole Qualifying, and the 'Shore Lunch 200' feature event. A complete schedule will be released in the near future.
