Rain washes out Indy Car race

Steady rain showers forced the postponement of the Firestone Indy 200 at Nashville Superspeedway. AAMCO Transmissions Pole Award winner Scott Dixon will lead the field to the green flag at 1 p.m. (ET), Sunday, July 15. The race will be televised by ESPN2.

The last IndyCar Series event to be postponed by rain was in June 2000 at Texas Motor Speedway.

"It's really disappointing as it kind of breaks up the momentum the Target team had going this weekend," Dixon said. "We were quickest in practice and won the pole position, but just like the Energizer Bunny was going and going, even in the rain, we hope to keep it going through tomorrow. We're still on pole and ready to give the fans a great race tomorrow."
