Mother Nature won the day on Saturday at Darana Dragway in Milan, Michigan. What was supposed to be a thrilling day full of eliminations and celebration turned into one long game of hurry up and wait.

The sportsman classes managed to get a few runs down the track, but when it came to the pros, there wasn’t much to report. Just as the show was about to kick off, a torrential downpour swept through the facility, delaying the event for several hours. Crews scrambled to dry the surface and fans held out hope, but just as things were set to resume, the skies opened once again. The rain returned with force, and with a local curfew fast approaching, officials were left with no choice but to push the finals to Sunday.

The good news? The action isn't canceled - just postponed. And after a day of anticipation, Sunday is now shaping up to deliver a full slate of high-stakes eliminations.

Racing is set to resume at 9:30 a.m. ET sharp on Sunday at Darana Dragway in Milan, Michigan.
