The race is set to resume at 1 p.m.
The forecast calls for cloudy skies with temperatures in the low 40s, but no rain.
Kyle Larson leads with 296 laps left in the 500-lap race. Drivers need to complete 46 more laps for the race to be official.

Brad Keselowski won stage one. Ryan Blaney led 99 laps Sunday before wrecking.
