Though there wasn’t a lack of determination from NASCAR and the teams to get the Axalta ‘We Paint Winners’ 400 in on Sunday at Pocono Raceway, the rain could not be silenced.
Following ongoing rain, mist and fog, the Sprint Cup Series event was postponed to Monday, where the field is scheduled to take the green flag at noon ET.
Under what is forecasted to be dry, sunny conditions, the 14th round of the 2016 season will stand as the first postponement since Charlotte last fall.
Team Penske, with pole-sitter Brad Keselowski and teammate Joey Logano, will lead Matt Kenseth, Kevin Harvick and Carl Edwards into Turn 1.
