We couldn’t get it done, Monday<\/a>. So we’ll try again, Tuesday. For the second day in a row, NASCAR postponed the Autotrader Echopark Automotive 500 at Texas Motor Speedway, due to rain. It’ll resume Tuesday at noon, on NBCSN.<\/p>\n

PRN will carry the radio broadcast, as will SiriusXM.<\/p>\n

Clint Bowyer<\/strong> will lead the field to green, when it restarts.<\/p>\n

The Cup Series completed 53 of the 334 laps, before it was red-flagged for rain, Sunday<\/a>. NASCAR didn’t get a break in the weather to resume, Monday.<\/p>\n

The forecast for Tuesday looks just as bleak as Monday and Sunday. From 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., the chance of rain ranges from 75 to 55%. It does decrease, however, from noon to 6 p.m., ranging from 45 to 35% chance of rain.<\/p>\n

Jim Utter of Motorsport.com tweeted he’s heard NASCAR told the Cup drivers to be prepared to stay in the Dallas-Fort Worth area until Thursday.<\/p>\n

Hearing #NASCAR<\/a> Cup Series drivers have been told to be prepared to stay in the Dallas-Fort Worth area until Thursday if that's what it takes to race. They will not leave until the race is considered official.<\/p>\n
