CHARLOTTE — The North Carolina Education Lottery 200 Craftsman Truck Series race is now set for 10 a.m. Sunday after multiple delays to due rain at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Officials made the announcement early Sunday morning.
The rescheduled truck race precedes the sold-out 67th running of the Coca-Cola 600, also at the speedway on Sunday.
The delays happened after persistent rain in the Concord area. Sunday morning appears to be drier, but foggy.
When the green flag flies on Sunday, Corey Day and Layne Riggs will start the race from the front row. Day is driving in the place of Kyle Busch, who passed away this week after a medical emergency.
