In an unprecedented move Sunday, NASCAR declared Saturday’s rain-delayed Xfinity race official – and Cole Custer the winner – short of its halfway point.The 55-lap race on the inaugural 2.2-mile, 12-turn course through the Grant Park area of downtown Chicago was halted after 26 due to severe weather and persistent lightning in the area.
However, the remainder of the race was never able to get back under way due to flooding of areas of the course.
