All-Star --- RACE thread

qualifying has been canceled
 
Yeah. That 3 hour time gap between the end of the truck race & now woulda been prime time to race given the OBVIOUS incoming weather. But NASCAR.
 
What a middle finger to the fans. So their reasoning for not moving up qualifying was that it wouldn't be fair to the fans because the ticket is for qualifying and the race, so instead they wait until the rain is clearly gonna hit and cancel qualifying 5 minutes in. What a joke

Boo NASCAR, Boo. Yeah, screw the thousands of fans that wouldn't have been at the track on time or all of us fans at home that would have missed it with it starting early.

What fans? The place is empty.
 
He's talking about canceling the qualifying not the race. Could've had qualifying at 4 and race when rain stops. Not rocket science

If NASCAR was forward thinking enough & was caught up to the 21st century they could announce changes with more than enough time for the fans to know, imo. Text alerts, email alerts, automated phone calling, use the CMS app, etc...

This exact weather has been predicted since the start of the week. NASCAR has never been proactive.

Text and email alerts will not decrease travel time to the racetrack.

Alerts sent out in an early enough time frame allows fans to accommodate & get to the track on time.

My college & many others do it with their sporting events. Its very do-able.

Weather forecast are wrong most all of the time. Look at the numerous threads we've had this season about the pending doom. 3 day wash outs and the like.

NASCAR's been at this for a long time. It's a weather affected sport. Weather happens sometimes in NASCAR. Somehow we all survive..... So far. We'll make it through this too I'm guessing.

I'll simply agree to disagree on this subject. It's easier than regurgitating the same thing over and over again.
 
So what about the fans tha bought the tickets to see the special qualifying as well. Some people came early to see it. Canceling it all together isn't fair considering the tickets promoted both and they easily could've done it the past 4 hours. Great way to gain new fans
 
Seems to all be a moot point anyways. Looks like the system is moving through quickly. You win @Michfan :D
 
That place is packed. Dedicated fans, each and every one of them. I can't believe their refusal to leave the stands even during the hardest of downpours.
