The Cracker Barrel 400NASCAR Cup Series race on May 31 at Nashville Superspeedway will not start on time.
NASCAR said just after pre-race introductions that the race start time is on hold as weather passes through the area. NASCAR later told teams to be ready for a 6:25 p.m. CT command to fire engines.
A weather system moved in from the north during the late afternoon. Rain drops began falling around 5:45 p.m, but not yet heavy enough to require a lengthy delay for track drying.
The original green flag time was scheduled for 6:20 p.m. Central.
The Nashville race weekend has been impacted by weather delays each day; the Craftsman Truck Series race started more than 2 hours, 30 minutes later than scheduled on May 29, while Cup Series qualifying was canceled on May 30.
