DOVER, Del. – Mother Nature simply wasn’t going to cooperate Sunday afternoon at Dover Int’l Speedway.

Despite the best efforts of track and Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series officials, the Gander RV 400 at Dover Int’l Speedway was postponed to Monday because of rain.

NASCAR officials worked hard to get the track in suitable condition to race Sunday and at one point it appeared the race would start shortly after 4 p.m. The field filed onto the track and began pace laps, but just as quickly as the rain stopped it began again.

The track was soon saturated again and with no lights at Dover Int’l Speedway for night racing, NASCAR and track officials were forced to postpone the race until Monday.

The green flag is scheduled to wave around Noon EST Monday afternoon, with television coverage on FS1. Chase Elliott and William Byron will lead the field to the green flag.
