Weather forecasts generally have not been friendly to NASCAR since the sport returned to live racing last month. This is what happens when races that can't be run in the rain are rescheduled for June, when pop-up storms and rain showers are common, especially in the southeast.
That's the location for Sunday's Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway in Talladega, Ala., where pop-up storms were predicted to threaten the race throughout the afternoon and early evening.
Sunday's race at Talladega was scheduled to start at 3 p.m. ET with a green flag time of 3:24 p.
