NASCAR Truck Race at Richmond Postponed to Saturday Due to Weather

The NASCAR Truck race at Richmond was postponed to Saturday due to inclement weather that affected the event scheduled for Friday night.

Lightning and persistent storms led to a nearly two-hour delay before NASCAR decided to reschedule the Craftsman Truck Series race, known as the Black’s Tire 250 presented by BTS Rewards, for 12pm EST on Saturday. The race will now be broadcast on FOX Sports 2 instead of FOX Sports 1.

Despite having wet-weather tires available, the ongoing lightning and heavy rain made it impossible to start the race. Shane van Gisbergen will lead the field after securing his first oval pole position in NASCAR, with Kaden Honeycutt alongside him. The Cup Series race is also set for Saturday evening, with gates opening for fans at 10am EST for Truck Series ticket holders and at 2pm EST for Cup Series ticket holders.
