NASCAR Washed Out

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.
