Jesus. Twitter is a crapshoot.
Stop posting Twitter crap.

Just call this thing and put it out of its misery

Thanks.

Once again, I apologize for that.

I don't think you need to apologize for it my friend, you didnt know, and we all are very eager to get an update on Cody.

 

[Spotter22]

But if a driver is killed through incompetence that cancels it out

You are being melodramatic

Greetings from Texas Motor Speedway!

It barely sprinkled for a few minutes, then stopped.

A few minutes later, they stopped the race for lightning.

They told us to take shelter, but it's completely dry and nobody has seen lightning.

Lightning hold is if it's within 8 miles.

Huge scrum on Twitter over who's picture this is and if this post is accurate. I hope he has a broken leg instead of a concussion. Bones heal. Brain doesn't always.

I got up at 5 am to watch MotoGP today so I guess I'm going to catch up with the rest of the race next week. You all have fun with the remainder of this one.

How about a lightning clock?

How about a lightning clock?

ok so 7:34

 

[BobbyFord]

Oprah said we’d have a 20th winner.
The credibility of the championship demands it.
Let’s get this thing going.

 

[jws926]

Not an official update, but its from at least a reputable reporter

Since we're still on hold, just a note.
Our member Whizzer lives on Florida's West coast. Ian is expected to be a major hurricane, and Whizzer lives within the cone of probablity.

I always wondered why the clock couldn’t be displayed on the broadcast and on the jumbotrons at the track.

 

[DewChaser988]

Can we just bulldoze TMS and race at Devil's Bowl Speedway instead? It's still in the DFW area.

Whizz is bulletproof.
But ima send some good mojo his way anyway.

 

[Brentford]

I wonder if people claim to have seen one or if they use radar? From what I've seen, the nearest strike was roughly 20 miles away and that was 40 minutes ago.

Edit: Looks like there was another about 10 miles South in Richland Hills.

Ware treated and released, says NBC

Great news. Now I can breathe.

Okay, better idea:

Expand the TMS dirt track's capacity to 40-50,000 and turn the 1.5 mile oval into a parking lot. Everybody wants an ACTUAL dirt track on the Cup schedule and hates Texas' current track, plus NASCAR wants to stay in DFW, nobody loses

 

[BobbyFord]

I’m not a fan of a dirt track on the Cup schedule. Please, no more gimmicks.
Make it real.

Uh, no, everyone doesn't.

I'm not either, but it's here to stay.

Unless the novelty of the Bristol Dirt race wears off

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I was able to grill dinner with my family, eat with them and the race still hasn’t started. I’m excited for Sunday Night NASCAR …Let’s Go!

The novelty wore off that first weekend.

I just got tonights dinner prepared and marinating for the grill in an hour and half, at this rate, the race will still be going.

 

[racingfan7]

Sunday Night NASCAR on USA is exactly what we need for some races.

92% ground beef burritos over here. Homemade Meskin rice, black beans.
I’m fatterna tick.

Not as far as TV ratings and attendance go

 

[Spotter22]

This is ridiculous! Lets go!

I'm just having leftover chili

Actually I agree. There is only one football game on after 7 ET. If you’re not a fan of the teams playing on SNF, you’re more likely to watch the race if you’re a fan of both motorsports and football. Better ratings for sure.

And those quality green flag passes
