    I'm guessing 90-120 minutes. 72 degrees and nearly 80% humidity isn't going help much with evaporation either. Noise shouldn't be problem. If they can get this rolling by 9 do it. Be over by midnight....

    I agree! I remember when Days of Thunder came out people claimed how unrealistic the racing scenes are. Not anymore.....It would act as a perfect substitute for 2021 pack racing while we wait this out!

    the best is getting potentially bumped by "Cherries Wild"...lol. Talk about having zero clout anymore.

    I cried like a baby watching "Intimidator" on ESPN today. So well done!

    That's an 80's Sunday line-up if I ever saw one; 1988? CBS knew what they were doing then; 500 then Lakers-Celtics from the LA Forum leading into Sunday night primetime. Murder She Wrote likely?

    I love the summer F1 schedule (mostly European countries) because the majority of the races start in the 7-9 am window in the East Coast. Great way to start a Sunday!

    I'm not sure if a race was moved up a few hours? Maybe an hour? I'll have research that because i'm interested in NASCAR vs golf programming flexibility relative to weather. I know NASCAR was granted "some" lee-way in terms of weather but I thought it was fairly minimal in the grand scheme of...

    As long as the advertisers got their money, the race is completed and there's some good wrecks/highlights to show those that matter will be happy.

    You're 100% right and I completely agree with you. But that literally doesn't matter. TV is going to dictate the start times based on their own programming agenda. For whatever reason, I don't think NASCAR has the pull (could be contract related) to change the start times drastically with the...

    In the summer they are. In February they're less common. This rain is part of a huge system that is going to turn into a winter storm for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

    I think they get it in. They have Sunday night all to themselves. Fox would be crazy not to push for a Sunday finish.

    I agree that in Florida rain is about as random as it gets. With that said, once we get to the warmer months it's a known fact that the odds of rain/thunderstorms increase greatly during the mid to late afternoon. Even so, TV will continue to start their races as they see fit relative to their...

    There was no sarcasm. Plenty of sweet highlights of the wreck on FB and twitter! That will get/keep viewers engaged in order to wait it out to see more craziness!

    Outside of golf there's not much sports wise going on. I think people will stay tuned in. That was some sweet chaos we were left with. Still more to come....

    Nope! But i've fully realized the last 3-4 years it's about the wrecks and the chaos. Once you embrace it you'll enjoy it far more!

    Smart move! Eliminate the opposition while strengthening your position! Great 4 wheel warfare tactics!

    Not sure the 500. The 400 was lap 2 in 1990 which took at Petty who qualified near the front.

    At least viewers got to see an awesome wreck before the red flag for weather. Social media will be abuzz!!
