RACE thread --- Daytona 500

[Spotter22]

If they'd started at 2:30, they'd still be stopped now.

Right? Scheduled green was 3:08. I swear our fans can be the best in the worst. Good lord

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

Clint killed it yesterday as analyst I think we might have the next Benny Parsons in our midsts

 

[Spotter22]

We would have been past halfway if the race started at 1

Guess what? The start was 3:08. Normally you dont worry about summertime pop ups in February

If they'd started at 2:30, they'd still be stopped now.

At least they would have some of it completed. Plus, people would be invested since they would have seen some racing. I'm just glad I didn't go....lol. I was close....

So close to going green in the Daytona 500 but a slight patch of rain delays the start

 

[Jorge De Guzman]

I’m going to get more snacks

 

[Magicmiler]

18 Air Titans should make for a quick drying evolution.

Bring us some back too

 

[Brentford]

They are really talking up about how dry the track apparently is. They really don't want to lose all these viewers they currently have watching this thing.

You'd think these folks had some stake in this other than an afternoon's telly. I feel sorry for the people in the grandstands who spent money. Everyone else needs to take a Symbacort and start breathing again.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

So they put down stay dry to suck up oil but not for water from rain? Interesting thought.

They haven't said all of his schedule when FOX announced the drivers participation, but he has a bunch of races this year in the trucks and Xfinity scheduled.

Thank you Brian France. His baby

 

[SlicedBread22]

Explain drop the ball? You think NASCAR? Whats wrong with you people?

Obviously its NASCARs fault that it's raining.. its not like they made the schedule months ago or anything

I can't wait for the broadcast with Tony in the booth.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Tony still has it!

 

[aunty dive]

Where is The Apologist when you need him?

Hiding?

It always blows my mind why they can't just run ads during the Red flag. Nobody gives a crap about these dumb canned interviews, but once the green flag drops we'll be back to getting KFC ads every 8 laps.

 

[Brentford]

Any talk on when the race would start tomorrow if it's postponed? It isn't looking good with a new cell moving in.

 

[jws926]

FOX NASCAR is like nails on the chalkboard to me.

Ya know, they could do the side-by-side thing.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

As disappointed as I am about the rain, it could have started earlier and still get stopped for rain. I just take it as it comes.

Heard 4 pm EST.

LOL pffttt 8 laps, yeah, that would be nice, its like every 5 laps

Or "Liberty Liberty Liberty " every 10 minutes...

Oddly enough, I already have a vacation day scheduled to go birding. A lot of people will have the Presidents Day holiday.

But then we'd have at least gotten some racing in.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

It’s about to rain again lmao what a ****** joke.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

That A-10 paint scheme will always rock. The bird the AF just can't kill.

 

[Cholo]

It’s about to rain again lmao what a ******* joke.

Karma.

Shout out to Mother Nature.....

Thanks for the rain delay. Allowed me to get in a position to sit and watch the race this afternoon/evening. May be one of the few I watch this season.

 

[Clutch]

It's the D500 and it has to be an underdog. Go Gaughan!

 

[Michfan]

About to rain in a couple minutes and then a downpour at 6...grrrreat

 

[ChexOrWrex]

watch the race this afternoon/evening.

Not a chance.

 

[2 Sweet]

Yeah if this gets delayed, I'm taking off work tomorrow for sure

It's ruined my morning as I have work soon.

 

[Magicmiler]

Just peeked @ The Weather Channel radar for Daytona. Ugh. Deluge around 6:30, pouring till 11:00. Looking like possibly tommorow for a finish.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Just put em out there already!
