The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race, scheduled for Friday night at the Richmond Raceway, has been postponed due to adverse weather conditions. After nearly two hours of waiting for rain and lightning, the organization decided to postpone the event.
Now the race, known as the Black’s Tire 250 presented by BTS Rewards, will take place on Saturday at 12:00 PM (Eastern Time). The live coverage will move to FOX Sports 2, a change from the original schedule on FOX Sports 1.
Although NASCAR has tires for wet conditions, the intensity of the lightning and the constant rain made it impossible to start the race under these circumstances.
When the green light is activated, Shane van Gisbergen will lead the grid after achieving his first pole in a NASCAR oval race. Kaden Honeycutt will follow him in the front row, while Chandler Smith, Grant Enfinger, and Nick Leitz will complete the top five positions.
Van Gisbergen and Christopher Bell, who will start from the seventeenth position, are the only drivers competing in two races on Saturday, attempting to complete 650 laps in a single day at Richmond.
According to the circuit organization, parking lots will open at 10:00 AM for fans holding tickets for the truck race, while the gates will open for Cup Series ticket holders at 2:00 PM.
The Cup Series race is scheduled to start shortly after 7:00 PM on Saturday, with Ryan Blaney taking the pole for this competition, while Chase Briscoe will accompany him in the front row.
