I'm about to leave. VERY thick blanket of gray clouds, but weather.com says no chance of rain.
 
This race sucks, the reruns of the Celebrity races from Long Beach on ESPN classic are more entertaining.
 
I wish they would do some Nationwide races at South Boston, Nashville fairgrounds or some other tracks like that. The Nationwide races at 1 1/2 mile tracks are too boring.
