Friday’s race was washed out after about 40 minutes. It was rescheduled for Saturday after the Nationwide Series race.

The weather forecast for the Dover area looks much better for tomorrow evening with mostly clear skies. The Nationwide Series will run their 200-mile race at Dover tomorrow afternoon.

Dover is the second truck event to be postponed this year. Persistent rain at Martinsville earlier this season forced the 250-lap event there to be delayed one day. Kansas City Star
