NASCAR has announced that the remainder of the Food City 500 has been postponed to Monday following a Sunday that was filled with red flags, crashes, and rain. Kyle Larson was scored as the race leader after 204 laps when the red flag was displayed for the fourth time of the day. Three of those red flags were for the weather while the fourth was for a crash on lap 119. Larson led 74 laps and had opened up a sizable lead over second place Denny Hamlin.
Michael McDowell spun on lap nine collecting Chase Elliott, Martin Truex Jr., and AJ Allmendinger. Following a strong weekend in practice and qualifying, McDowell was sidelined and is scored in 38th, out of the race.
The second big accident of the afternoon when Trevor Bayne and Chris Buescher piled up blocking the track leaving Jamie McMurray, Harrison Rhodes, and the race leader at the time Ryan Blaney. Blaney had led 100 of the first 117 laps. His day would be over.
The on-track action is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. ET on Monday on FOX. The Performance Racing Network and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio Channel 90 will broadcast the race live. Last season's race was completely postponed to Monday, Jimmie Johnson would hold off Clint Bowyer for his second of three victories from last season.
