I'm sure they want to do all they can to get it in tonight with the hurricane coming up this way and alot of fans will need to get home and prepare for the storm.

I like running this sucker Thanksgiving weekend for the championship.

 

[Ventisca]

Really would be nice to see a race sometime tonight.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Gonna be cutting it close.

 

[carolinabuff]

Yup

 

[2 Sweet]

I've tried calling multiple times to ask if Kyle Busch (at age 34) has lost a step. Getting a busy signal every time I dial

 

[Spotter22]

930 at the latest. weepers biggest prblem, track is dry

 

[Spotter22]

fans still in force

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Yup

IMO it would be pretty **** of NASCAR to call the race due to a pre determined deadline if there is no rain in the forecast at a track that is supposed to be a night race anyway. The fans at the track have waited and deserve a show in the right conditions.

 

[jws926]

Yay, ive got a monsoon storm rolling in

Dude, I work past 2am most days. I'm still wide awake, lets get this in! One of my favorites of the year, every year.

Fans want to see this, too. I feel for the fans, I know the feeling. This race is also good for the community, especially with the amount of uncertainty at the moment with the weather.

Has the Bojangles' Southern 500 (at age 70) lost a step?

I want to get it in tonight, but only because I'm selfish and have to work tomorrow night.

Bojangles will never lose a step!

Can we please skip all of the pleasantries and get on with the show? Fans care about cars on track at this point. Good signs though.

Where are you at in Ohio?

I'm just a bit west of Columbus. I was in Northwest Ohio all day and it rained a ton, especially during the drive back home to Columbus a few hours ago

I’m just southwest of Cleveland. Been here for a while, work related... I actually work all around northern Ohio, honestly from about Columbus upwards... Miss my home in Kentucky

They've probably read your posts here.

 

[Spotter22]

How about those Darlington fans! Love South Carolina!!!

They must have read the posts from the podium?

Okay, I'm done.

 

[JGR_20]

It really is a dicey situation for nascar. With the evacuation tomorrow, I don’t recall them being pressed like this to get a race in. Imagining it could be a deal where these cars are loaded up and they all return another time.

Would they keep the same stating order? I mean hell, teams could overhaul the entire cars by the time they showed up in a situation like that...

 

[jws926]

Folks, we are about ready to go racin
