When can NASCAR fans expect the Wright Brand 250 Truck race to restart? Latest weather updates from North Wilkesboro Speedway

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series Wright Brand 250 came to an untimely halt due to inclement weather conditions at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina. With the conditions remaining nearly the same since the caution flag, the latest update suggests that 30 more minutes have been added to the lightning clock.

The NASCAR race at North Wilkesboro Speedway has been a challenging one from the start. Rainfall earlier in the day led to the cancellation of the qualifying rounds for the Wright Brand 250, setting the stage for an unpredictable afternoon. Despite this, the race commenced with Christian Eckes quickly taking the lead, promising an exciting competition.

However, just before Lap 60, the race pace was disrupted by a caution flag due to rain taking over the track. While the rain was significant enough to slow down the race, it did not escalate to a red flag situation, allowing teams and drivers to hold out hope for a quick resumption.

Eminent NASCAR journalist Bob Pockrass had initially reported some optimistic news, suggesting that a major storm appeared to be skirting the track to the north, which raised hopes for a timely restart. He mentioned that the race could resume within 15-20 minutes.

Unfortunately, another weather cell from the west complicated this optimistic outlook. Adding to the challenges, a lightning strike within eight miles of the speedway necessitated an additional delay.

Pockrass confirmed this development, noting that the lightning strike has extended the waiting period for the Truck race by another 30 minutes.
