Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway has been postponed until Monday due to rain.
Talladega is a monster 2.66-mile superspeedway, which takes a very long time to dry due to its massive size.
In addition, Talladega Superspeedway does not have lights, and since NASCAR will not start a race unless it thinks it can run the entire event distance (which is 500 miles in this case), there was no chance to get the track dry and cars racing before the sun went down.
