The Stater Bros 300 had been rescheduled for tomorrow after rain hampered efforts to run the second race in this year’s NASCAR Nationwide Series at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California today. Marcos Ambrose will start tomorrow’s race from 18th position in the #59 Kingsford Charcoal Ford Fusion, with the field set by 2007 Owner’s Points after qualifying was also rained out.
