Heavy rain Sunday that brought flash flood warnings to New Hampshire forced postponement of the NASCAR Cup Crayon 301 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway until Monday at noon, ET.
The rain, sometimes one to two inches an hour, began before daybreak and was accompanied by tornado warnings south and east of Loudon, New Hampshire.
USA Network, PRN and SiriusXM NASCAR Radio will broadcast the race on Monday.
Crayon 301 ticketholders and Track Pass holders with unscanned Sunday tickets who are unable to attend Monday’s race may exchange them ticket-for-ticket for equal or lesser value toward any other Speedway Motorsports NASCAR or NTT IndyCar race during the next 12 months.

Sometimes, it’s investing in a private equity fund that is part of a lot of different things. It’s mostly driven by my management team that watches over me.”
John Hunter Nemechek continued his strong season in the NASCAR Xfinity Series with a win on Saturday in New Hampshire.
