DOVER, Del. (AP) - Rain washed out the NASCAR Xfinity Series race and there will be a Dover doubleheader Sunday.
The second-tier series race will start at 10 a.m. at Dover International Speedway. The NASCAR Sprint Cup race is scheduled for 2:15 p.m.
Chase for the Sprint Cup championship drivers Joey Logano, Kyle Busch and Austin Dillon are scheduled to pull double duty.
Erik Jones is on the Xfinity pole in the series' Chase race. Elliott Sadler advanced to the second round with a win last week at Kentucky Speedway.
