Pocono race postponed until Monday

Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono will be run on Monday.

Persistent rain -- or "weather" in NASCAR terms -- meant NASCAR and Pocono Raceway couldn't make any reasonable attempts to dry the track throughout the day and Sunday's 400-mile race will start at Noon ET on Monday.

The race will be broadcast on Fox Sports 1. Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano will start on the front row.

Saturday's Xfinity Series race was called after 53 laps because of rain and Friday's practice session was shortened because of rain as well. Cup Series teams were able to qualify on Friday afternoon and practice Saturday morning before the afternoon round of rain hit.
