The Charbroil 300, the NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series event at Charlotte Motor Speedway, was halted mid‑run after 33 laps when a sudden downpour and thick fog rolled over the track, forcing officials to pause the competition.
Rain Stalls Early Action
Originally scheduled to kick off at 5 p.m. Eastern, the race was called off as the weather deteriorated, leaving spectators and teams waiting for a clear window before the green flag could be displayed again.
Who’s Leading the Pack
When the session finally resumed, Justin Allgaier seized the lead, but he was quickly chased by a pack that included Connor Zilisch, Corey Day, Brandon Jones and veteran Ross Chastain, each jostling for position as the track dried.
What’s Next
Series officials have said the race will be deemed official once 90 laps are completed, which would mark the conclusion of the second stage and set the stage for the final sprint. Fans watching from the stands and at home are now waiting for a weather update, as officials monitor radar and hope for a dry stretch later this evening.
