Rain delays start of Xfinity Series' return. MORE:
DARLINGTON, S.C. —
Officials had already moved up the scheduled 8 p.m. start two hours because of the threat of bad weather later on. But rain hit the area around 4 p.m. and several heavy waves have drenched the country track. Jet driers were dispatched several times when it appeared the storms had subsided. A short time later, they were shut down as the rain intensified.
This is the series' first race since March 7 at Phoenix. NASCAR returned to racing when its top series ran a 400-mile race on Sunday. All drivers, teams and essential personnel were screened at the track before being let in. All cars passed pre-race inspection. Now, the wait is on for the weather to let up.
