Wait it’s raining before noon? NASCAR fans told me that never happens

I think we can get it in. Pop-up systems never impress me. And the track is on the border of where that stuff is developing anyway.

Looking at the forecast, they are pretty much calling for a 50% chance of rain every hour for the rest of the day

No lights, Brooklyn MI is eastern time. Sunset is officially 8:50 local time.

Going to be another "rain race"...nice

If they race today, the fans in the stands are going to feel quite comfortable. I can't even say how long it's been since I've been to a race where temperatures were in the 70's, but I know it's been a long time.

This is pedantic, but I believe the original technical green flag time was 2:49 ET. I suppose they moved the actual flag drop up 19 minutes.

Yeah, makes sense. That is probably all of the wiggle room they had to play with.

The TV broadcast was scheduled to begin at 2:30. Ceremonies usually push the green 18 to 20 minutes into the broadcast.

Well, very light rain has them waiting to crank. Great point made by BD…Chase not winning today will put him in a very bad position on points, so it’s a must win.

I believe he has four or five more races left before the cut off. Any one will do, the sooner the better.

I’m sure hoping the 48 team can get it done at Michigan.

Go, Alex.
