HAMPTON, Ga. -- The start of today's Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway is being delayed by rain.
The race, stop No. 2 of 36 for the Sprint Cup Series, was originally scheduled to take the green flag at 1:16 p.m. ET.
Rain began falling in the area in the early-morning hours and the local Sunday forecast, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), calls for areas of drizzle, cloudy conditions and a high near 46.
The event eventually got underway at 2:12 p.m. ET.
NASCAR's Air Titan track drying system was dispatched once the rain ended Sunday morning, and pre-race activities were conducted without any weather-related issues.
Today's race can be seen on FOX. Performance Racing Network will provide radio coverage.
