My hot air when Toyota wins will add 5-10 degrees at leas to the forecasted temperatures.

Earthquakes shake them out of bed, but a potential inch of rain, holy hell, call out the coast guard.

Don’t be silly, nobody gets out of bed for temblors.
It has nothing to do with the “inch of rain.” They’re getting 5-10 inches in Ventura County by Saturday night. Snow is at the 1200’ level, the grapevine is shut down.
4’ of snow in Arrowhead.
The real problem is that NA$CAR will let 60,000 fans drive to the track on Saturday when there won’t be a single car on the track all day. Nobody is going to walk around in the rain to go to the vendors for an $8 beer and a foil-wrapped $12 soggy-bun burger.

No need to overreact. I'm sure they will suffer thru it.

Even if it was sunny and 75 degrees you wouldn't have anywhere near 60000 people showing up on Saturday.
 
Not sure if anyone has posted this but 10 years ago Logano was in first season with Penske. He was still the guy that Gibbs no longer wanted or needed and a lot to prove.
Hamlin still thought Logano wasn't in his league and someone he could easily ridicule

In addition to this Kesolowski was still the man at Penske and all the racing world had reason to believe that he would be winning several championships for the Captain in the coming years. While many including Kesolowski probabaly had some high expectations from Logano, I don't think many of them could have foreseen what was coming.

IMO this is the time and race when Logano came of age and made it clear to everyone else.
He has won 2 championships since then compared to none for Kesolowski or Hamlin. Both of those drivers are future HOF drivers with great careers going for them, but Logano has been better for the last ten years.

I was there. My seats are halfway between the entrance to pit road and and the start/finish line. Denny got out of the car and went straight to the ground.
