Cup Series race at Nashville resumes after weather hold

The NASCAR Cup Series race at Nashville Superspeedway was temporarily red-flagged due to inclement weather.

A lightning delay and eventual rain overshadowed the 1.33-mile concrete oval in Lebanon, Tennessee, necessitating a yellow flag on Lap 136 of the Ally 400, the fourth caution period of the day. The field was brought to pit road and stopped on Lap 137.

Christopher Bell was scored as the race leader ahead of Tyler Reddick, Kyle Larson, Brad Keselowski and Chase Elliott at the time of the delay. Completing the top 10 were pole-starter Denny Hamlin, Chris Buescher, William Byron, Martin Truex Jr. and Carson Hocevar.

John Hunter Nemechek spun at Lap 116 to trigger the second caution of the day, the first for an on-track incident. A Ty Gibbs spin followed 10 laps later to trigger the event‘s third yellow flag.

The red flag was lifted at approximately 6:40 p.m. ET with a return to green-flag racing at the conclusion of Lap 140.
