Crew members cover David Malukas of Team Penske (12) car in the pit road for a rain delay during the NTT IndyCar Series Snap-on Makers and Fixers 250 at the Milwaukee Mile in West Allis, Wisconsin on Aug. 29, 2026.

An unrelenting rain system led to a red flag on lap 90 of the Snap-On Makers and Fixers 250 in Milwaukee Saturday, and the cars couldn't return to the track.

Instead, the race is now scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. ET Sunday with the final 160 laps or end at 10:25 a.m. ET, whichever comes first. The delay will now create a double-header -- the Snap-On Milwaukee Mile 250 will follow directly after the first race.

Pato O'Ward of Arrow McLaren holds the lead at the break. Felix Rosenqvist is in second, while Alexander Rossi is in third.

This is the second time a race has been postponed a day this season. The Music City Grand Prix outside of Nashville suffered the same fate in July.
