MOTEGI —

Rain forced organizers to postpone the Indy Japan 300 at the Twin Ring Motegi until Sunday, the third leg of the 16-round Indy Racing League series. A little more than two inches of rain fell at the track over a 30-hour period through early Saturday, and workers labored for hours in a bid to stem the deluge of water.

“We never got a situation where the racetrack was presentable and safe to race on. The drivers would not have been comfortable and been in a position to where we could have done anything today,” said league president Brian Barnhart.
