Who wants some Monday NASCAR at Pocono again?

Sunday’s race at Pocono was postponed because of rain and will be run at 11 a.m. ET on Monday. The race never got going Sunday. As NASCAR and Pocono officials were drying the track as 3 p.m. ET approached, rain hit the track again, wiping out the previous hours of drying efforts.

Martin Truex Jr. is set to start on the pole when the race does go green. Carl Edwards will start second.

Kurt Busch won the June race at Pocono. That race was also run on Monday because of rain.
