MILLINGTON, Tenn. -- Persistent rain showers forced NHRA officials to postpone completion of the O'Reilly NHRA Mid-South Nationals at Memphis Motorsports Park until Monday.

Heavy rain moved into the Memphis area just after final eliminations began. Only five pair of Top Fuel cars raced before rain started around 11:20 a.m. (CT).

Eliminations for all categories will continue at 11 a.m., beginning with the three remaining pair of Top Fuel dragsters.
