The NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Pocono Raceway has been postponed until Monday because of rain.

The race will run at 11 a.m. Martin Truex Jr. is on the pole and Kurt Busch tries to sweep Pocono in the track’s second Monday race of the season.

Rain also delayed by a day the Sprint Cup race in June at Pocono. NASCAR said this was the first time a track had two rain-postponed races in the same season. This was NASCAR’s 10th postponed race since 2011.
