ROCKINGHAM, NC: Ducks didn't mind the rainy weather in North Carolina today. Race fans hated it. NASCAR officials wasted little time in announcing the AC Delco 400
Winston Cup race would be postponed until Monday at 10 A.M. Eastern Time. While Mother Nature was not so kind to the fans waiting to watch the race, NASCAR had
more compassion. The sanctioning body made the announcement only 30 minutes after the scheduled start of the race.
The race will be televised live on the TNN Cable Network.
