The running of the 62nd Daytona 500 has been postponed until Monday at 4 p.m. ET due to rain.

NASCAR's season-opening race lasted for just 20 laps Sunday before rain brought it to a halt. The green flag had already been slightly delayed due to President Donald Trump's appearance and an additional pace lap to honor Jimmie Johnson.

Ricky Stenhouse Jr. held the lead through the first 20 laps.

FOX will broadcast the remainder of the race in its entirety.
