DOVER, Del. - The NASCAR Cup Series race at Dover International Speedway, scheduled for Sunday, was postponed by rain and will be run on Monday.
Chase Elliott, last weekend's winner at Talladega Superspeedway, earned the pole position and will lead the field to green at 12:01 p.m. Dover hasn't held a Monday race since 2007.
Elliott topped the speed chart during a blistering qualifying session Friday and set a track record when he hit 165.960 mph. Elliott and William Byron made it a 1-2 starting front row for Hendrick Motorsports. The 23-year-old Elliott became the youngest pole winner at Dover.
Jimmie Johnson holds the Dover record with 11 wins, and he topped the final practice Saturday with a fast lap of 161.863 mph in the Hendrick Motorsports No. 48 Chevrolet. Johnson, a seven-time Cup Series champion, is mired in the longest losing streak of his career dating to his June 4, 2017, victory at Dover.
