NASCAR Xfinity Series Cabo Wabo 250 delayed due to rain at Michigan

The NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Michigan International Speedway is under hold and will be delayed until 4:00 PM EST. We are still waiting for the Cabo Wabo 250 to get the green light and the green flag.

Sheldon Creed will lead the field to green when the race does get going. However, the air titans are currently getting laps in as the track is dried for the race. Creed is searching for his first career win still.

The rain has already messed things up for the Cup Series today. So, it’s no surprise we are having issues now. The Cabo Wabo 250 is up in the air at the moment. 4:00 PM EST is the soonest this race is going to get started.

Hoping to go green at 4 PM ET. 🤞 https://t.co/l1zZCRYEeY

UPDATE: Good news, folks. It’s about 4:00 PM EST and we are getting going. Engines have been fired and the race is about to begin on USA.

There was been a lot of Xfinity Series news for today. It isn’t just the Cabo Wabo 250 or the fact that the playoffs are almost here, just around the corner. Haas Factory Team announced their 2025 Xfinity Series lineup as well.

One of those drivers happens to be the pole winner, Sheldon Creed.

Sheldon Creed named to new team ahead of Cabo Wabo 250

Haas Factory Team has inked two drivers to multi-year deals in the NASCAR Xfinity Series, tapping both Sheldon Creed and Sam Mayer to drive cars. Creed will drive the No. 00 car, while Mayer will drive the No. 41. Both cars are Ford Mustang Dark Horses.

The team is using the No. 41 in the Xfinity Series in place of the No. 98 car it inherits from Stewart-Haas Racing. The number change will help the team better align between the different levels of NASCAR, as Cole Custer is set to drive the No. 41 car in the Cup Series for Haas Factory Team.

“We’ve developed a strong and consistent Xfinity Series program at Stewart-Haas that wins races and championships,” president of Haas Factory Team Joe Custer said in a press release on NASCAR.com. “In 2025, that program will operate as Haas Factory Team. The name is changing, but our commitment to winning remains the same.”

Creed is joining Haas Factory Team after a one-year stint with Joe Gibbs Racing.
