It was also the 50th running of the race, and in celebration thereof Lowe`s Motor Speedway painted the outside retaining walls gold. This 600 miles (970 km) race was originally scheduled to be held on May 24, 2009 at 5:30 PM US EDT at the 1.5 miles (2.4 km) Lowe`s Motor Speedway in the Charlotte, North Carolina suburb of Concord. However, an evening-long rain postponed the event until 12 noon US EDT May 25. Fox televised and radio was handled by Performance Racing Network (over-the-air) and Sirius XM Radio (satellite).
