CONCORD, N.C. (AP) - Hurricane Matthew has washed out Saturday night's Sprint Cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway and led NASCAR to schedule a doubleheader Sunday.

The delay will change WTHR programming Saturday evening. Caught on Camera will air on Channel 13 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. NBC will air Dateline and from 10 p.m to 11 p.m. a prime time version of Saturday Night Live will air.

NBC will carry the Cup race at noon on Sunday and WTHR will join the race in progress at 12:30 p.m.

Rain and wind from Matthew have doused the area the last two days, so NASCAR called off Saturday night's Cup race. The Xfinity Series race scheduled for Friday had already been moved to Sunday.

The Cup race will start at noon ET on Sunday and air on both NBC and NBC Sports Network. The Xfinity Series race will begin at approximately 4:30 p.m. ET on Sunday and air on NBCSN.

Kevin Harvick won the pole Thursday night for Sunday's Cup race, while the lineup for the Xfinity race was set per the rulebook. Kyle Larson will start on that pole.
