CONCORD,N.C.— NASCAR’s longest race of the season spilled into a sec- ond day Sunday night when the Coca-Cola 600 was postponed by rain for the first time in 50 years. Light rain had delayed the scheduled 6:03 p.m. start at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, but the track appeared dry and NASCAR called the cars out to pit road moments before a heavy shower soaked the surface again. The heavy rain lasted less than 15 minutes, but a per- sistent drizzle made it impossible to dry the track. The race will run today at noon. It’s the first time it will be held on Memorial Day. “We have a ton of family AP photo members and friends in Helio Castroneves, of Brazil, climbs the safety fence with members of his pit crew after winning the Indianapolis 500 — his third victory in the event — at Indianapolis Motor town this weekend, and of Speedway in Indianapolis, Sunday. course the big plan was for us all to be here tonight and playing around by the lake What a month: Castroneves wins his third Indy 500 Idaho Driver tomorrow,”said Kurt Busch, who will start 17th.
