Due to persistent rain showers throughout the day, NASCAR officials were forced to postpone the Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway to Monday April 7th at noon EST.
This marks the third Sprint Cup Series race affected by rain this year, but the first in which NASCAR was unable to run and complete it on the original scheduled date. The Camping World Truck Series did have their Martinsville event postponed from the Saturday afternoon to Sunday evening last weekend.
When the race goes green tomorrow, it’ll be Tony Stewart leading them to the green flag.
