Did they just say the race is rained out or that qualifying is rained out on ESPN2?
I can't imagine they would rain out the race this early on a short track.

Qualifying. It only takes 30 minutes to dry the track at Bristol.

Danica spun in NW qualifying and 47th in Cup practice?
She might go 500 laps down between the two races

It's still raining here
For what it's worth. The radar looks 50-50 for a race tonight.

Nope Honey...exactly incorrect..the old track was great, the new track was boring as a marathon...hopefully the hybrid track will be better.

Some of the male drivers come out before a race more coiffed than Patrick does. I wonder if they have "stylists" on staff

If it did end up getting rained out tonight, would they run it early tomorrow or would it do it in the afternoon right before the Sprint Cup race?
For what it's worth though, I don't see it getting rained out tonight. Even if it does rain again, I'm sure they could find some time tonight to run atleast 125 laps, which is all it'd take for it to be official.

The drivers are complaining about the track surface. This is a good thing.

It's funny how if the drivers don't like it, fans do. If the drivers like it, it's gonna pretty much suck.

There are some scattered showers coming in from the northeast. But this track has lights, and it only takes 30 mins to dry the track, so I'm thinking we will get all of the race in tonight even if it rains. The race might end late depending how long the rain lasts, though.

He does seem worried.
So true.

How many drivers are they going to ask how different the track will be? We'll all find out soon enough.

Joey was saying that he thinks clean air will be a big thing tonight. Is clean air even possible at Bristol? I mean, aren't you constantly around cars?

If he gets any clean air and can jump out front it won't last very long.

Dillon still looks like an idiot in that stupid hat. Hope he doesn't wear that stupid thing tomorrow night in Winchester.

I feel so bad for JV losing that race last week.
That was sarcasm for those of you who haven't recalibrated your sarcasometers.

From what I saw on a previous weather radar there is a big system coming in soon...but not huge...and nothing behind it.

It's almost completely clear now. Seems like those showers and storms were pop up storms from the heating of the day. They are quickly breaking up and are pretty much non-existent now.

Very good sign
Great news Brent...happens all the time in August (from my memory)...you either get slaughtered by a storm...or it just fizzles out. Track looks good to me. Hope the cars can avoid the Jet Dryers and not burn down the track

Nice one Allgaier. If you are going to seek revenge, you should probably be able to control your car.

I guess Austin Dillon thinks he's Dale Earnhardt in that black #3.
