The race was already under a red flag because of a lightning strike in the vicinity of the 1.5-mile track, but a rain shower and a severe thunderstorm warning for the area further delayed the event.
Joey Logano was shown as the leader with 30 of the scheduled 208 laps complete. Three yellow flags — one for a competition caution and two for incidents — slowed the early going.
The race was also postponed from a scheduled Wednesday night start because of inclement weather from Tropical Depression Bertha.
