The Black's Tire 250 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race at Richmond is under a delay with a lightning hold.
The race was scheduled to begin just after 7:30 p.m. Eastern/6:30 p.m. Central at Richmond Raceway, but storms were moving into the area from the west.
The lightning hold will last at least 30 minutes from the last lightning strike, with strikes still around the speedway as of 6:35 p.m. Central.
Wet-weather tires are available at Richmond this weekend, but the race won't start under heavy rain conditions and/or until the lightning hold is lifted.
When the race does begin, Shane van Gisbergen is on the pole .
UPDATE: The start of tonight’s race at @RichmondRaceway is delayed due to thunderstorms. Stay tuned to FS1 for more information.
