The Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR event, which was scheduled for Sunday, has been postponed due to heavy and persistent rain in Charlotte. The race will now take place Monday at 3 pm ET. This is the first time since 2009 that the race has been moved to Memorial Day due to weather.

Earlier in the day, Charlotte Motor Speedway tweeted that they are monitoring the weather.

“We’re continuing to monitor the weather, and some forecasts are showing clearing early this evening,” CMS said on its website.

CEO Marcus Smith said on Twitter: “Here’s what I heard. … Spotty showers from now until 6 p.m. Then things lift and we start drying the track. Projecting 8-8:30 start time. No guarantees, but I hope they are right! We shall see.”

Meanwhile, William Byron is on the pole while Denny Hamlin, the defending champion, starts fourth.
