Rain Forces Postponement Of NASCAR Truck Race at Charlotte to Saturday At 9 PM ET
Mother Nature just won’t play nice with the NASCAR community. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series North Carolina Education Lottery 200, which was originally scheduled for Friday evening, was rescheduled to Saturday morning due to persistent rain, it was postponed again thanks to continued rain on Saturday morning.
The race is now set for Saturday evening at 9 PM ET and will be televised on FS1. The race would follow Saturday’s NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series Charbroil 300, which is currently set for 5 PM ET.
However, Mother Nature is still expected to play a factor into the rest of the day and evening schedule at Charlotte Motor Speedway, so fingers crossed that we see some racing on Saturday night.

No. 33 RCR Team Allowed To Unload Car First In Touching Gesture By NASCAR
In a touching gesture by NASCAR, Richard Childress Racing, which endured an unthinkable loss this week with the passing of Kyle Busch, was allowed to unload its renumbered No. 33 Chevrolet before any other team unloaded on Saturday morning in the NASCAR Cup Series garage.
It was a surreal and emotional few moments, as the entire garage stood quiet, and paid respects to Busch, and the Richard Childress Racing team that has now endured the loss of two legends — Dale Earnhardt and Busch.
After the No. 33 Chevrolet was unloaded and pushed to the inspection bay, the No. 3 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet was allowed to be unloaded and pushed to inspection. Once that was completed, the entire garage went to work.
