The 3M Peformance 400 at Michigan International Speedway is sailing -- almost literally -- into uncharted NASCAR waters.
Rain washed out the race for a second straight day on Monday, forcing NASCAR to attempt to run a Nextel Cup race on a Tuesday for the first time in the sport's modern era.
The postponed race will air at 10 a.m. on ESPN2.
