DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. Clay Matthews III Jersey . -- The day race at Daytona International Speedway ended up at night. And now the night race will go off during the day. Steady rain forced NASCAR to postpone the Sprint Cup race at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night. Its the second race at Daytona this year delayed by rain. The season-opening Daytona 500 was stopped for more than six hours because of rain and ended under the lights. "We seem to have a little bad luck with the weather," said Joie Chitwood III, the track president. "We had it in February and we have it right now." The Coke Zero 400 will start at 11 a.m. Sunday, about 14 hours after officials postponed the event. The forecast calls for more rain Sunday, but Chitwood said scheduling an early start gives NASCAR a "bigger window of time to get it in." The race was supposed to start at 7:57 p.m. Saturday, but showers soaked the 2 1/2-mile superspeedway and forced officials to delay the green flag and eventually postpone the race. This is the fourth Cup race affected by rain this season and the second to be postponed a day. Bristol also was affected by rain, and Texas was delayed a day. Despite the latest washout, Chitwood does not want the race moved from its traditional Saturday night spot around the July Fourth holiday. The race has been run in that spot for 27 years, and prior to that, it went on the annual holiday itself. Chitwood was reminded of what a rain-free event looked like as he watched a replay of last years Coke Zero 400 during Saturdays delay. "The crowd was fantastic and the weather was good and we gave the fans a heck of a show," he said. "I think July Fourth weekend is a great time." Jaire Alexander Jersey .

But Saturdays 4-1 victory over D.C. United was like beating your little brother, who had just got out of hospital. At 3-21-6, D.C. United is the only team with a worse record than Toronto (5-15-11) in MLS. There has been little to celebrate for the once mighty franchise this season. But United is in the U.S. Open Cup final on Tuesday, taking on Real Salt Lake for a prized trophy. So coach Ben Olsen shuffled his entire starting lineup for the Toronto game, resting his starters for the cup final. United dressed just 16 players, two short of the maximum. His starting lineup included 17-year-old forward Michael Seaton, making his league debut. "I set these guys up to fail today," said Olsen. "Its pretty simple." "We hung in there for about 60 minutes. Then I got some guys out that were going to maybe to factor into the Tuesday game. And now Im putting guys out of position. You start adding those up and youre playing a real team in the MLS, thats what can happen. "Our focus this week, the majority was on Tuesday and I set them up to fail. But I was proud of the effort. Certainly the work rate and the commitment from the guys, I couldnt ask for better." Toronto scored three goals in a 20-minute span of the second half as Olsen made substitutions and his reserve players lack of fitness was exposed. "Because they havent had a 90(-minute game) in a long time," he said. "You add it all up and thats what can happen at the end of a game." Bright Dike, Alvaro Rey and Darel Russell scored for Toronto, which also benefited from an own goal before an announced crowd of 15,879 at BMO Field on a sunny, windy afternoon. Midfielder Jared Jeffrey replied for D.C. United. Dikes winning goal came in the 67th minute after referee Ted Unkel played advantage down the right flank when a D.C. United defender pulled a Toronto player down. Fullback Mark Bloom motored past the wreckage and sent in a cross that Dike volleyed home for his first goal in a Toronto shirt. Toronto made it 3-1 four minutes later after Reys cross from in close bounced in off D.C. United defender Conor Shanosky. Rey than dribbled around a string of defenders before slotting the ball home in the 87th minute to pad the lead. The win snapped an eight-game league winless streak for Toronto. D.C. United now hasnt won in eight games. "We kind of expected it," acting Toronto manager Jim Brennan said of the weakened United lineup. "A wins a win. Regardless of who youre playing against," he added. "Its always good to get a win. It doesnt matter who they end up bringing. Those boys in that (home) dressing room will be happy with that result and getting the goals that they did today." No doubt there were no complaints when the Toronto players saw who they were facing. Uniteds depleted side helped kickstart a sputtering Toronto offence that had not scored more than one goal in a game since July 27. Coming into the game, the Toroonto starting 11 had combined for just six goals this season. Darnell Savage Jersey. And it was Torontos biggest offensive output since a 5-1 win over CD Aguila of El Salvador in August 2012 in CONCACAF Champions League play. Olsens team sheet had no starting place for Dwayne De Rosario, Luis Silva, Chris Pontius, Dejan Jakovic, John Thorrington, Nick DeLeon, Bill Hamid or any other starter that featured in last weekends loss in New England. "Unfortunately we have the luxury to not matter so much about results in the league," said Olsen. "So that (lineup) decision wasnt a hard one." Toronto winger Bobby Convey spent five seasons at D.C. United at the start of his career and said he knew maybe one starter on the other side of the field. Some were young enough to be his kids, the 30-year-old joked. Toronto FC was without suspended defender Steven Caldwell, midfielder Jonathan Osorio, manager Ryan Nelsen and assistant coach Fran OLeary. Assistant coach Brennan, the franchises first player and captain, ran the sidelines. Toronto elected to start Bloom over Richard Eckersley at fullback. With both Eckersley and goalie Stefan Frei on the bench, that meant Toronto had more than US$500,000 in cap hit watching from the sidelines. Goalie Joe Bendik, resplendent in pink as part of MLSs breast cancer awareness campaign, captained Toronto in Caldwells absence. Bendik won the starting job after Frei was injured in the first pre-season game. While the rosters were thin, the goals were of top quality. Jeffreys goal came in the 15th minute on a beautiful left-footed shot from outside the penalty box that found the top corner while beating a diving Bendik. Defender Doneil Henry offered an unwitting assist with his clearing header going right to an unmarked Jeffrey, who scored the second MLS goal of his young career. Russell equalized in the 26th minute after United was unable to clear a free kick. The ball was sent back in, bouncing off a D.C. United defender to Russell, who put the ball away acrobatically with a side-scissors kick. It was the third goal of the season for the English midfielder, who specializes in highlight-reel scores. Joe Willis made a great save, low and in the corner, off Dike in the 34th minute after a fine cross from Rey. The Spanish winger almost scored himself in the 57th minute, curling a ball across goal that came close to dipping into the net in the swirling wind. Toronto pushed the pace in the second half in a game where every set play seemed like an adventure waiting to happen D.C. United is now 0-13-3 on the road this season. A game in Kansas City represents the last chance to avoid joining the 2011 Vancouver Whitecaps and three other teams as the only MLS clubs to go through an entire season without a road victory. The victory was Torontos 50th in league play in seven seasons, raising its career MLS mark to 50-103-66. Olsen wasnt that impressed by what he saw in the home side, which fell behind in the first half. "It was OK, I guess," he said of the Toronto performance ' ' '
