It'll now probably be the highest rated NASCAR pre-race telecast now.

I'm happy that they will race in such cool temps. More grip, more downforce and cooler engines will make for a better race.

Is this segment really necessary?

TV segment? IMO, Trevor should listen up and just race.

I don't wanna take this to the podium but if there is a god out there, he doesn't help you win a race or any other sporting event and praying to win a sporting event is beyond ridiculous.

Ya on raceday they had Tim Tebow talk about faith in this promo video. The whole thing was ridiculous.

I love short track racing (Taylor's Version)
There's a pre-race show on?
Or are we talking about that pile of crap on SPEED with Rutledge Wood?

haha all of John Cenas friends have been busting his chops, telling him make sure you don't drop the flag

Someone said that the start of the race has been moved up an hour. Is that true or BS? I don't see anything other than 1:29pm as the green flag time.

Here are the picks from raceday
Kenny Wallace - Dale Jr.
Wendy - Tony Stewart
Kyle Petty - Matt Kenseth
Matt - Kevin Harvick
Larry Mac - Carl Edwards
Rutledge - Greg Biffle
Steve - Marcos Ambrose
apparently John Roberts picked Trevor Bayne last year, can't believe that.

Who said that? And it doesn't matter. The track is already soaked.

BS then, I guess.
Anyhow, I just saw that the Track has been lost due to rain - two hours is the ballpark figure to dry the track.

3+ hours to dry the track in cool, humid, cloudy conditions. But they can't start until it stops raining which won't be any time soon.

Mother nature is pissed that they pushed this race back this year onto the same weekend as the bassmaster classic lol. Dont matter to me I got my split screens setup with the Classic on one and the 500 on the other lol.

UGGHHH!! Two Waltrips for who knows how many hours....

Yep. I think it might be a good move, but you never know. We may see a bunch of middle packers going crazy while the bigger teams lay back for the win.

When is someone going to suggest they race in the rain? I always look forward to such intelligent insight.

Oh no. Other than some incessant whining by a couple of posters I kind like how most here are fairly knowledgeable about racing. Some idiot suggesting that they run in the rain may cause me to delete this forum from my Tapatalk App. haha
