Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway Pre-Race Discussion

Someone needs to have a come to Jesus talk with these broadcast partners about American summer weather. Just absurd to have any starts from Mothers Day-Labor Day later than 1 PM unless it's a night race. Rain out TV ratings have to be a far greater loss than a couple of points because it started at 1 PM
A post earlier in the year said NASCAR and the networks calculated 3:00 start times would result in two rain delayed races each season. They are willing to accept the reduced ratings for two races in exchange for the better ratings they get with 3:00 starts.

Interesting. Do they mean two delayed or postponed races? I feel like that number has to be a bit higher
