Agreed and they changed nothing for next yearThis schedule is a dumpster fire. I was glad to see Fox pretty much call it out in the pre-race show.
Martinsville has the two worst dates on the scheduled, followed by Bristol (Spring) and Atlanta. Ironically, these are atop the list of favorite tracks for NASCAR fans.

6 MLB games were cancelled today due to weather! It's been a brutal spring for a large swath of the country!
When I was looking at going to a spring race weather was always major concern. It ultimately bit me at Martinsville and Bristol wouldn't have been much better.
Four of the last five Bristol Spring races affected by weather. This is becoming as bad as the traditional Pocono rain delays.
Martinsville snow-out was so predictable. I used to live there and I've seen it snow just two days before or after a race frequently, or even hours after.
Blaney got ******.
I'd rather the whole day get rained out and they run in full tomorrow or Tuesday than catch a little gap today and race to halfway.
Would hate it for those at the track though.
...and don't forget it rains every afternoon in Florida in the summer. Why do they even schedule a race at Daytona in July? It is a crap shoot sometimes the weather cooperates and sometimes it doesn't.Martinsville with cool weather and perhaps a coating of snow was possible. Martinsville with 6" of snow which caused the first "snowout" in 25 years was pretty long odds. As it is, their dates definitely suck!
I've been dealing with the Pocono weather for 30 years. The early June weather is usually stable (cooler) but late July, early August in the mountains of Northeast PA is extremely sketchy...
I'll leave that one alone.Doesn't appear as though anybody is at the track ......... the Mexican series race at PIR draws a bigger crowd
Tech term is the heat cycle , yeah, I am sure the engine guys are bit concerned, I am not sure how many heat cycles they can cycle through.These heating and cooling, especially with moisture, fluctuations cannot be healthy for the engines
Hell you say, the experts here could be wrong ?Drivers are being called to their cars. I swear if I listened to you guys I would have never turned the race on because there would be no way they'd get one lap in.
Why? It's obvious they don't have a good crowd, weather or not it's a very poor crowd for Bristol. I can remember being there for the inaugural Modified race and the crowd looked like this.I'll leave that one alone.
Even people in Tennessee can figure out a weather forecast.Doesn't appear as though anybody is at the track ......... the Mexican series race at PIR draws a bigger crowd

You should always listen to us ... and count on the exact opposite happening.Drivers are being called to their cars. I swear if I listened to you guys I would have never turned the race on because there would be no way they'd get one lap in.
10 years ago that track would be packed rain or not.Even people in Tennessee can figure out a weather forecast.
I'll leave that one alone.

I spent Sunday in Asheville, NC a time or two back in the sellout era, with no intention of going to the track that day. I watched drowned puppies slosh back into the hotel, learning I'd missed 10 or 20 laps tops.10 years ago that track would be packed rain or not.
