Heavy rains forced postponement of Sunday’s The Duck Commander 500 at Texas Motor Speedway. The race has been rescheduled for noon ET on Monday, and will still be televised on FOX.
 
Five of the Air Titan 2.0 Toyota Tundras descended onto the 1.5-mile, high-banked track once the Sunday downpour ended, but drying was slowed by cold temperatures and damp air. First-generation Air Titans and jet dryers also were on hand to help the effort.

NASCAR Executive Vice President for Racing Operations Steve O’Donnell also noted that “weepers” – streams of water from the saturated track that come up onto the surface through cracks – stalled the drying process.
 
Tony Stewart, winner of the pole on Saturday, will lead the field to green Monday. His Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kevin Harvick will start third after breaking the track speed record during the first round of multicar qualifying.
