NASCAR Cup race at Michigan postponed till Monday

The NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich., was postponed until Monday at 11 a.m. after inclement weather forced the red flags to come out Sunday evening.

Chase Elliott was in the lead with Martin Truex Jr. and Bubba Wallace behind him 51 laps into the second of three stages. Ryan Blaney won the opening stage.

Rain has marred NASCAR's whole weekend in Michigan. First, qualifying was canceled Saturday due to the poor weather, with Denny Hamlin awarded the pole position.

Sunday's race was scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. but was delayed about 2 1/2 hours by the weather.
