NASCAR makes schedule change due to rain at Daytona

Friday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway had to be halted due to rain, forcing a weekend schedule alteration.

Just 19 of the scheduled 100 laps were contested in Friday night’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Daytona International Speedway when rain caused the red flag to fly.

Unfortunately, the Wawa 250 was unable to be resumed on Friday evening, and the plan is now to finish this race on Saturday afternoon.
