Rain, which hadn't been a factor since 1950 in the world's premier auto race, stopped the race after 18 laps.

They'll try again today.

The 32 cars still left in the running will go to the post at 10 a.m. (EST) with Parnelli Jones leading the single-file start. Gates will open at 7 a.m. WHETHER that green flag falls again is problematical. The weather man isn't promising any better weather.
