Charlotte Truck race postponed

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway has been postponed until Saturday morning due to inclement weather. Green flag is scheduled for 8 a.m. ET (FS1, NRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio).

After practice and qualifying were canceled earlier in the day Friday, Truck Series drivers loaded onto the track in anticipation of a 7 p.m. ET start. But moments before the race was slated to begin, it began raining, eventually leading to NASCAR pushing the North Carolina Education Lottery 200 back a day.

Corey Day is set to lead the field to green in the No. 7 Spire Motorsports Chevrolet at the 1-5- mile Concord, North Carolina, facility.

Day is driving the truck that Kyle Busch was scheduled to drive until the two-time Cup Series champion passed away Thursday after battling severe illness. One week ago at Dover Motor Speedway, Busch won his 69th career Truck Series race in the Spire entry.
