Rain forces postponement of trucks race at Daytona

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR officials postponed the Camping World Trucks race Friday night at Daytona International Speedway because of rain.

The race was rescheduled for 7 p.m. Saturday.

Heavy showers washed out all at-track activity at Daytona on Friday, including Sprint Cup series practice and Nationwide series qualifying. Kyle Busch will start on the pole for Saturday afternoon’s Nationwide race, and Danica Patrick will start 15th.

Jason White won the pole position for the truck race in qualifying Thursday. The truck race will feature Cup regulars Elliott Sadler and Busch, who is driving for his own team. Austin Dillon, a grandson of NASCAR team owner Richard Childress, is driving a black truck bearing the No. 3 — the number Dale Earnhardt drove for Childress.
