Do you think Daytona 500 could be delayed until Tuesday or Wednesday??

Alex Bowman won the pole and The Duels is tomorrow, but weather reports at Daytona show that Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday are likely going to be rained out. 

It's likely Daytona 500 is going to happen at Tuesday around 9:30pm (it appeared to be raining outside), but might be surprised to end up having a Truck Series Season opener happen that day instead or be rained out at all on Tuesday if run first before the 500.   Could be possible to see any racing on Tuesday for affected lower-level series in ARCA or Truck Series if anything getting rained out???

Wednesday Night might be a problem for Fox if the Daytona 500 was to be delayed until Wednesday even through The Masked Dancer and Name That Tune are likely to be cancelled anyways, The Masked Singer has a social media toxicity problem against sporting events, they would treat everyone like crap on Twitter and only care about their ratings.https://dknation.draftkings.com/2021/2/9/22273423/...

Update:

stupid Yahoo Answers, sorry for looking out of place.

Update 2:

Just recently looked it up, Truck Series looked like it's going to be ok on a Friday.... but The Weather Channel still might report it Saturday, Sunday, and Monday for a rainout.

Update 3:

Unfortunately, Fox is still obligated to air The Daytona 500 because it was NASCAR's flagship event and ratings of last year's Daytona 500 is still higher than most of  Fox's own shows.     ARCA and Truck Series races looked like it's cleared to race, but the Truck Series race appeared to be rain shortened in just 55 to 70 laps.   The Xfinity Series race might still be post-poned at a later date.

    It's a possibility.

    If the race does get delayed, the broadcast would likely get moved to FS1.

    Awww bless... Americas premier racing series can't handle a few drops of rain... I freaking hope it's not cancelled or postponed. I've just bought the UK TV channel so I can watch it and can't do that if it's on a weekday due to work commitments.
