NASCAR at Texas live updates, highlights from 2020 playoff race
7:10 p.m.: 100 laps to go in the race.
7 p.m.: Elliott is two laps down entering the final stage.
6:53 p.m.: Kyle Busch wins Stage 2. Truex Jr. has finished second in back-to-back stages.
6:47 p.m.: Chase Elliott has to pit again because of a tire malfunction.
Painful for Chase Elliott having to make a second pit stop. Completely screwed up their strategy.

6:47 p.m.: Truex Jr. pits at Lap 200.
Most of the field pitting with 10 to go in the stage.

6:45 p.m.: Truex Jr. has told his team a couple of times today that he's happy with how his car feels. A win here after being docked 20 points for a rear spoiler violation would be quite the bounce back.
6:32 p.m.: We're past the halfway point of the race, meaning it could end now and become official. Weather is OK, though, so the drivers will hopefully be able to finish.
6:28 p.m.: Truex Jr. slides past Blaney.
6:24 p.m.: Blaney leads. Truex Jr. is still in second place.
6:18 p.m.: Green again.
6:11 p.m.: Caution for Joey Gase.
6:02 p.m.: Bowman takes the lead.
6 p.m.: Stage 2 goes green.
5:52 p.m.: Bowyer wins Stage 1. Martin Truex Jr. is right behind him.
5:40 p.m.: Back to green.
5:33 p.m.: Caution for debris. There have been five cautions (including Sunday's events), and several days of rain-related delays. What a ridiculous race.
5:29 p.m.: Back to green.
5:20 p.m.: Hamlin and Almirola have damage from that incident.
5:13 p.m.: Caution. Bubba Wallace and Matt Kenseth tangle.
5:13 p.m.: Free pass goes to Kevin Harvick, who moves back to the lead lap.
5:09 p.m.: Green flag. This is a resumption of Sunday's action, meaning we're starting at Lap 52.
5 p.m.: Engines fired.
4:46 p.m.: NBCSN will carry the race beginning at 5 p.m.
4:34 p.m.: Cars to the grid!
4:26 p.m.: It looks like this race might actually restart soon.
NASCAR about ready to have team push the cars back onto the grid as drying continues.
