N'wide race moved again, will run Monday at Fontana

History was almost made Sunday night at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif., but Mother Nature had other ideas. Now it moves to Monday.

Extensive rain delays forced NASCAR to reschedule a doubleheader on Monday. The Stater Bros. 300 Nationwide Series race will be run immediately following the postponed Auto Club 500 Sprint Cup race, set for a 1 p.m. start.

Jeff Burton will start on the pole as the grid was set per the NASCAR rulebook after qualifying was rained out.

The doubleheader had first been scheduled for Sunday. After rain washed out the Nationwide race on Saturday night, NASCAR officials rescheduled the race for Sunday immediately following the Sprint Cup race, scheduled to start at 4 p.m. ET. It would have been the first time in NASCAR history a race was run at the same track after a Cup race on the same day.

But that didn't work.

The start of the Cup race was delayed, then endured multiple red flags and weather delays. It forced officials to move the Nationwide Series race to Monday. Hours after that, the Cup race was also rescheduled.

The weather is supposed to be much better on Monday, with sunny skies and highs in the mid-60s.
