A scheduled 'weeper test' maybe? I know they paved it and all but they really didn't have to go to these extreems to show us how good of a job they did.

I was at the US Open in Louisville a couple of years ago. It started raining early Friday morning and came down in buckets until around 8:30. It was interesting to watch them dry the golf course. I don't play and don't follow the sport closely, so it gave me a new appreciation for that aspect of course design.

They are only showing the top 25. But, that wasn't my point. I'm disappointed my driver is not in the top 25.

You have to click on the button that says 'Show All Drivers'. On the lower left after the top 25. The rest are listed.

I've done all three, and it beats sitting in a car, or a tent! Much easier to play cards in the RV.

I hear you! Last year at Chicagoland in the middle of the night our tent held up to some serious wind. Well I was standing inside holding the rods up but was still shocked at how far those suckers flexed without breaking. Turned out there was a tornado a few miles from us.

It does seem they cancelled in a hurry. It is still hours away from the schedule.

they claim with the repave, it was more important to have more practice time than to have qualifying.

Sooo why did they cancel qualifying? Are they expecting more rain before the Xfinity its race? I don't get it since it was scheduled for after 6pm.

Edit: Nvm, did some reading and I see now. Not sure I agree with it but oh well.
 
Happy Hour is streaming quite nicely for me. I'm impressed.

Hamlin brushed the wall off 4. Minor damage; he returned to practice and they'll knock it out later.

Truex, Kyle Busch, Harvick, Johnson, and Buescher (!) lead the 10-lap averages at the halfway point.

'Crispy Colonel' ads every bit as creepy as last week.
 
Kurt smacked the wall going into 3. No decision yet on the backup. Right rear pretty wadded up. Letarte says fixing an out-of-alignment rear deck and spoiler is difficult.

Where you streaming it from ?
 
I think kentucky is a rare track where the racing was better during the day. The daylight race where Matt Kenseth won in 2014 was one of the best races I have seen ever. That is what got my interested in NASCAR again after my formula one years.
