Inclement weather pushes NASCAR Cup Series race to Tuesday

Inclement weather has again pushed back the finish of NASCAR's Cup Series playoff race in Texas.

The race, which was postponed Sunday night after 52 laps due to mist and drizzle, didn't resume on Monday and instead will restart on Tuesday at 12 p.m. ET.

Two drivers retiring from full-time NASCAR competition after this season, Clint Bowyer and seven-time Cup champion Jimmie Johnson, were running 1-2 when the race was halted with 282 laps to go.

The cars kept running for eight laps after the weather caution first came out, with jet dryers circling the track at the same time.
