The Stater Bros 300 has been postponed yet again with the race now scheduled to begin at 1:00pm US Eastern time on Monday 25 February after further rain at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California today.

The second race in the 2008 NASCAR Nationwide Series season was originally scheduled for Saturday but rain forced NASCAR to attempt to run the event after the completion of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Auto Club Speedway today (Sunday US time).

With the Auto Club 500 Cup race currently experiencing it’s second red flag delay due to rain, NASCAR has moved the proposed start time for the Stater Bros 300 to Monday US time at 1:00pm US Eastern time. Full time conversions listed below.

Marcos Ambrose will start tomorrow’s race from 18th position in the #59 Kingsford Hickory Ford Fusion, with the field set by 2007 Owner’s Points after qualifying was also rained out.

In the sole practice session held at the 2.0-mile speedway yesterday, Ambrose was 28th fastest.

Both ESPN2 in the United States and Ten HD in Australia have rescheduled their telecasts of the Stater Bros 300 and NASCAR.com is expected to stream live vision.
