NASCAR got through the first stage of its race at Texas before the rains came and washed out the rest of the day’s running. The race will resume at 9 a.m. Monday with Clint Bowyer the leader after the first stage.
Championship contender Martin Truex, Jr., incurred a points penalty that is likely to be fatal to his changes of being one of the final four drivers to run for the championship. His car failed pre-race inspection and NASCAR confiscated the rear spoiler from his far. He was penalized twenty championship points.
