A downpour swept through Middle Tennessee on Sunday evening, ending track drying at Nashville Superspeedway from earlier storms and forcing the postponement of the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix presented by OnlyBulls to 3 p.m. ET Monday, July 20.

The NTT IndyCar Series race distance has been reduced from 300 to 225 laps for the rescheduled Grand Prix due to a forecast of record temperatures and a heat index over 100 degrees, INDYCAR officials announced Sunday evening.

All other procedures for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES race remain unchanged, including the rule mandating each team uses at least one set of primary Firestone Firehawk tires and two sets of alternate tires in the race.

Kyle Kirkwood of Andretti Global will lead the 25-car field to the green flag from the pole in the No. 27 Sam’s Club Honda.
