Cup race postponed by wet weather

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — NASCAR’s Cup playoff race in Texas had to be postponed after 52 laps on a misty day that slowly deteriorated to drizzle while it never actually rained before the event was called off.

The delay was just over four hours, and the restart is planned for Monday morning. But the forecast isn’t promising with a 90% chance of rain overnight and the forecast high temperature barely reaching 50 degrees.

Clint Bowyer emerged as the leader with Jimmie Johnson second in the last Texas race as full-time drivers for both veterans.
