It’s official: The Axalta We Paint Winners 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway will take place on Monday.

With the rainout, the race is now scheduled for noon ET on FS1.

Dismal conditions throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania led to the postponement as a combination of heavy mist, dense fog and a worsening forecast made racing impossible.

Team Penske drivers Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano qualified 1-2 and will start Monday’s race from the front row in their Fords.

Row 2 will be the Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota of Matt Kenseth, flanked by 2014 Sprint Cup champion Kevin Harvick in a Stewart-Haas Racing Chevrolet.

Carl Edwards qualified fifth in a second JGR Toyota, with three-time series champ Tony Stewart starting sixth after his best qualifying effort of the year.

Credit to NASCAR for trying. Sometimes holes pop up in the weather like they did last week. https://t.co/CPjeO5RHqe
