Nashville Cup race halted by lightning and rain

NASCAR was forced to stop the 300-lap race on Lap 140 for repeated lightning strikes within an eight-mile radius of the track. While in the lightning hold, heavy thunderstorms developed around the track and rain soon covered the area as well.

The race is 10 laps short of halfway, which would make it official. If it cannot resume Sunday evening, the remainder of the race will be postponed until Monday and pick up where it left off.
