In this case why cant NASCAR move the start time up to say, noon? Theres no fans and no pre-race pleasantries that need a heads up.

I never did find out exactly why the car failed inspection. Anybody know?Here they are wheeling the KDB car in for the second time. I think they tried to pull the ol' let's let them find one thing wrong and hope they will miss our rear camber deal.

70% Thursday, 40% Thursday night.
Here in central SC, we went the previous three weeks without measurable rain. Apparently the Drought Relief Tour continues unaffected.

you're not going to know. They didn't like something under the car for the first fail, rear camber was out for the second.

Camber?
I wonder how they were able to fix that so quickly?

Camber In A Can! from the FlexSeal guys. Low budget teams are still using dehydrated camber and having to wait for it to set.

You will get a headache, but I suspect the KDB car had mounted the body on the frame crooked. An edict came out from Nascar about the frame body mounting shortly afterwards

I suspect that this sort of thing would never make it past the initial NASCAR certification process.

There is a chance for tonight. There is nothing behind the current set of rain but knowing the south, pop ups will probably happen

Hate to think worst case, but I wonder if they can't get the Cup race in Thursday would they still run it on Friday with the 600 coming up on Sunday? If there's no racing today or Wednesday then it would make sense to switch the scheduled order for Thursday and have the Cup race first since Xfinity doesn't run again until Monday night. But I know, TV....

There's an aspect of TV coverage I've completely overlooked. I'm a bit disappointed in myself, as much as I love the logistical operations. I've always thought about the main show, not the supporting side show.
Radar at 12:40p actually looks promising, but we all know how quickly that can change.

Look at the radar. The front is pushing through. They may not make the rescheduled 6p start, but the original 8p is definitely doable. Take the covers off the scissor lift and be careful with the charcoal.

I understand wanting to be optimistic until the bitter end, but sometimes the writing is on the wall lol.

Go Briscoe!
3" of rain had already fallen on the track. That's quite a bit. There's no way we race today.
