Friday night’s race was halted by rain with 29 of 60 laps remaining in Stage 2 and following nearly a 3-hour delay it was finally called.
The remainder of the race has been postponed until 12:25 p.m. ET Sunday and will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 1.
When the race resumes, Brandon Jones will lead the field followed by Josh Berry, Daniel Hemric, Brett Moffitt and Jeb Burton.
Had Stage 2 been completed, the race would have been considered official.
Following the break between Stages 1 and 2, several lead-lap cars elected to pit with Austin Cindric the first off pit road.
Moffitt was among those who stayed out and inherited the lead. The race returned to green on Lap 68.
On Lap 71, Jones went inside of Moffitt and claimed the lead for the first time in the race.
Berry went to the inside of Jones off Turn 4 and grabbed the lead on Lap 78.
Jones got back around Berry on Lap 88 for the lead and two laps later a caution was displayed again for rain. The race was quickly placed under the red flag and cars brought down pit road.
