2017 Charlotte - Bank of America 500 - Pre Race Thread

[Charlie Spencer]

The radar this morning looks like there might be a chance.

Yeah, the radar looks like they'll definitely start. More power to those who have tickets!

If I were calling the shots, I'd get all the races started earlier. During the NFL season, I'd start at 12:30 and get people watching racing before the football games even kick off, instead of competing for viewers later.

It's logic like that (which I agree with completely) that keeps you and I from being network programmers or NASCAR media execs.

There's a whole lot of rain to the west of Charlotte but it appears to be going north, not east.

here's hoping . . .

I'm waiting for NASCAR to announce they're going back to the original start time.

They're drying the track so it looks like to Nascar is going to attempt to get an "official" race in today.

Weather.com is showing rain at 3:45

Lol on my way to the track now and I have no idea how the rain is holding off, it's so ugly out. With an AM start time they could have easily gotten this whole thing in. That's what irritated me about only moving it up 1 hour.

Yea it does look ugly out there but I'm gonna head over to the track anyway and see if I can find a cheap ticket.

Never know though. I didn't think they'd get the 2016 Coke 600 in and was proved wrong

The weather projection is getting better by the minute.

I'm 110% we will see an official race today.

What a nice, unspectacular command!

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

Must admit that when going to bed last night, I never thought there was a chance we'd see any racing today

Edit: also looking like if the rain comes this afternoon, there will be a window this evening.

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

Harvick will be aggressive right out of the gate.

 

[KTMLew01]

SHR must have found something. Even Danica ran well. She will be 25th by time first stage is over.

Missed it by thaaaaaaaaat much! 24th

Maybe this belongs in the Bold Prediction thread but I see today's race starting on time and going the full distance without any interruptions by rain.

Can't drink all day if you don't start at breakfast I guess?

Is it safe to stop drinking yet ?
