Kyle Larson will lead when the Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway finishes on Monday (local time) after rain caused a suspension with 204 of 500 laps completed.
The start had already been delayed by half an hour before three separate red flags for rain and another to clean up a crash.
Brad Keselowski (#2 Team Penske Ford) won the first 125-lap stage from Ryan Newman (#31 Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet) and Clint Bowyer (#14 Stewart-Haas Racing Ford).
Ryan Blaney (#12 Team Penske Ford) had led 99 of those laps and was still in front when his race ended having not been able to avoid a coming-together between Chris Buescher (#37 JTG Daugherty Racing Chevrolet) and Trevor Bayne (#6 Roush Fenway Racing Ford) on Lap 117.
Michael McDowell (#34 Front Row Motorsports Ford) had earlier caused a multi-car prang when he spun on Lap 3.
Larson (#42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet) took over the lead in Stage 2 before the race was finally postponed, with action set to resume tomorrow at 0300 AEST.
