Just a matter of time until things get rolling!

The Pocono Indy Car race was officially postponed until tomorrow...

You know you've gotten a lot of rain when you need to dry off the water!

CNBC

Wow, stands almost empty. People not expecting it to start so soon?

They'll fill up. I bet there's still a good turnout....

 

[jws926]

I would guess that.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

No second anthem, but we get this hick 'theme song' again.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Is it mandatory for NBC to play that awful song?

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Good news: there's finally no more rain headed for the track! All rain is pushing away from the track. Bristol is the (+) east of Kingsport.

I know... makes me miss "Give me fuel give me fire give me zabizabizaaaaaaa"

Guess so, never wanting to hear it again is an understatement

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Competition caution. Commence complaining.

 

[*WEAVER*]

Jeff Burton is ready to go.

 

[jws926]

Yay!!!, cars are rolling off pit road

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Still going to be a while while the dry pit road.

 

[KodiakRusty89]

Pit road is still really wet..

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Announcers are already talking too much.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Jeff Burton is telling us how hard it is to dry pit road.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Is that what that ad says? All could ever make out was the 'Gimmies'. I thought maybe it was 'Dollar Ninety Niiiiiiine!', like the car had a value menu or something.

Regardless, sports broadcasts don't need theme songs, with the exception of 'Wide World'.

 

[be9ak7ts16]

Anybody have a live stream?

 

[29-4]

I wish they wouldn't count these laps. This is going to be a 20+ lap caution.

 

[Mr. E]

Announcers are already talking too much.

Can't believe they haven't talked about Colossus yet.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Park 'em on the track and red flag it while they dry pit road.

I think it's "love which I desire" but idfk.

This. Great idea.

 

[HoneyBadger]

So, let me get this straight (was at a race last night).

They've been under caution since lap 30?

They will have a competition caution on lap 85?

I'm not okay with this.

 

[29-4]

For those complaining about them trying to restart last night, here's why. Last night, over 90% full I'd guess. Today, less than the Xfinity race. A lot of people couldn't stay.

Plus the network wanted some viewers I suppose.

See guys not that many dents in the steel truck bed...the more you know

Looks like the Toyotas are far far far superior to the rest of the field, again.

All this talk about "low downforce". This is easily the worst season of NASCAR racing I've seen in my entire life. My interest is at an all-time low.

Yeah, already had 4 lead changes under green in the first 100 laps. Racing has been great

Seriously, I wish these other teams would do their homework and catch up to the Toyota cars.

Gonna be funny when the final four consists of Kyle Busch, Martin Truex, Denny Hamlin and Carl Edwards (or Matt Kenseth).
