Live updates will be posted in the section below and will be published frequently during the race. 6:18 p.m.: It’s worth noting that last night’s Xfinity race started a little over three hours after its 7:30 p.m. Barring inclement weather — and looking through forecasts, weather will likely be a factor tonight — the race will begin at 7 p.m. 7:05 p.m.: There’s a light drizzle at the racetrack.
