The Latest: Rain causes 3rd red flag; Larson in lead

BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — The Latest on the NASCAR race at Bristol Motor Speedway (all times local):

4:15 p.m.

Well, that stint of green-flag racing didn't last long.

The Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway has been red-flagged for a third time due to weather just 46 laps shy of it becoming an official race. In all, 214 of the 500 laps have been complete.

But this band of rain appears as though it may last quite a long time based on the radar.

Kyle Larson was strong on the last green-flag run and has led 74 laps in all. Denny Hamlin is second and Paul Menard third.
