The start of Sunday's NASCAR Cup Series race at Kansas Speedway has been delayed by rain showers in the area of the track.
Rain moved into the area of Kansas City, Kan., just after 1 p.m. ET on Sunday and remained fairly stead past the original 3 p.m. ET start time. When the race does finally get under way at the 1.5-mile oval, Christopher Bell will lead the field to green for the first time this season. Bell beat Ross Chastain for the pole in Saturday's qualifying session and earned the 11th pole of his career. Bell has yet to convert one into a victory.
If I just see the checkered flag with a clean car, we’re going to have a solid day and that’s what we’re after.' Bell has had an up-and-down season in 2024. He picked up an early win at Phoenix, which locked him into the playoffs, but he's struggled over the last month to get good finishes. In that stretch, he has not finished better than 17th and has three finishes of 34th or worse.
