BRISTOL, Tenn. – Torrential rain and flood warnings at Bristol Motor Speedway has forced NASCAR to postpone the NASCAR Cup Series Food City Dirt Race and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt to Monday.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series will hit the track at 12 p.m. ET, followed by the NASCAR Cup Series at 4 p.m. ET. Spectator gates will open at 11 a.m.

Kyle Larson is credited with the pole for the Food City Dirt Race, but he is expected to drop to the end of the field after the team made an engine change following Friday’s practice. Denny Hamlin will start second, followed by Ryan Blaney, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr.

John Hunter Nemechek and Austin Hill will make up the front row of the Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt. Sheldon Creed, Matt Crafton and Johnny Sauter round out the top-five starting positions.

Bristol Motor Speedway Fan Info

All tickets for the Food City Dirt Race will be honored at the gate all day. Cup ticket holders arriving early whose seat is occupied by a Truck ticket holder can find an open socially-distanced seat to watch the Truck race. Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt ticketholders are able to use their existing tickets for their reserved seat for the Truck race and will be allowed to stay for the Cup race but may need to relocate to another seat for social distancing if their Truck seat has been sold to a different guest for the Cup race. Tickets will not be sold at the gate on Monday. The Speedway Motorsports weather guarantee is in effect for ticketholders who cannot attend either race. Details here.
