Rain postpones the night race for the first time ever

Kevin Harvick outlasted the competition to win Sunday’s rain-delayed Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway.

It was the second time in three races — Pocono’s Sunday race ended on a Monday three weeks ago — that rain impacted a Sprint Cup race and only a fraction of the 160,000 in the stands Saturday night returned for the conclusion. Logano struggled to find a good groove early in the race, which created some strife between him and his spotter.

Last week NASCAR drivers in the Sprint Cup series took a week off from racing, and last night’s race was rained out. Stewart said that he would miss Bristol the most when he retires.

WHO’S NOT: Tony Stewart was hoping to lock up his Chase spot – he’s got a win but stands 27th in points – with a strong Bristol finish.

“I wanted him to go on a victory lap with me and say goodbye to all the fans one last time here at Bristol., but that was pretty cool doing burnouts with him”, Harvick said in Victory Lane. “I think it’s exciting”. His auto spun because of what the driver said was a broken part. On Sunday, Busch led a race-high 256 laps, yet got hit by Justin Allgaier after a spin. What Else Happened: The race was suspended on Saturday night when rain swept into the area. On Friday night, he tangled with rival Brad Keselowski and wound up in the wall with five laps to go. “That’s stupid”, said Kyle Busch, who wrecked on lap 373 after leading 258 laps. Harvick was pleased after some recent frustrations to have things go much better this weekend in Bristol. “Chase (Elliott) bust out of nowhere, ran me over and 21 (Ryan Blaney) came through there wide open – I still don’t know if he’s lifted yet or not – and finished us off”.
