From a press release issued by AMA Pro Racing:

Revised Sunday Schedule (Updated Saturday 3:00 p.m.)

Due to a compressed schedule, live television coverage and expected threatening weather, the following will apply to Sunday’s road racing events:

– MBNA 250 Grand Prix will run 15 laps

– Pro Honda Oils Supersport will run 15 laps

– BMW Boxer Cup will run 13 laps (length unchanged)

– Chevy Trucks Superbike will run 57 laps (length unchanged)

– Genuine Suzuki Accessories Superstock will run 13 laps

Should any AMA Pro Racing-sanctioned support races be stopped in which 50% or more of the laps have been completed by the leader, the race will be considered complete and will not be restarted.

Should the Daytona 200 be stopped in which 80% or more of the laps have been completed by the leader, the race will be considered complete and will not be restarted. If the race is stopped after 50% of the laps have been completed but before 80%, the race may be considered complete at the discretion of the race manager.

If weather continues to impact the event schedule, changes will be made and announced accordingly.
