Call me crazy but it looked like Kyle was doing everything he could to miss her, too.

I noticed that also.

 

[nascage]

I noticed that also.

Yup - although his car was turning opposite of Danica, his tires weren't.
Must've had some braking left in that car.

8 inch hail? SERIOUSLY? That can hurt people - bad. 8 inch is the size of a civil war cannon ball.

They tend to exaggerate hail though

 

[FLRacingFan]

There's plenty of time to get this race in so there's no reason to call it, IMO.

The Nationwide race was still over 90 minutes from the green flag at this point yesterday. Hopefully it blows over quickly.

 

[FLRacingFan]

the Harvick/Gordon finish was the best. I was standing up while watching that one LOL

My two favorite drivers and all-time favorite finish. Awesome race.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Eight inch hail? Is that like Richmond being the home of the National Anthem?

 

[HoneyBadger]

I think EVERYBODY was rooting for Harvick in that one. That entire race was a barn burner.

 

[Racer1930]

Wow - that raindrop on the window behind Mikey is as big as his head

 

[#17D500winner]

1/8" not 8"

 

[HoneyBadger]

Shut out the lights, party's over.

Yep, the house just about came down in Atlanta that day.

 

[Racer1930]

Sunlight in turn two (fingers crossed)

 

[Nitro Dude]

It looks like a few of the fans here has thrown the towl in, but it doesn't look like Nascar has. The dryers are still drying.

 

[FLRacingFan]

At least the Titan is on the track.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

If the hail were 8", every car and hauler would be destroyed, there would be craters in the asphalt, and the people... let's not think about that.

 

[MrSluggo]

Did he just say Penske had parts in his rear end?

 

[HoneyBadger]

This is highly unusual for NASCAR to start a race they know they can't finish. Must have been really anxious to try out their new toy (Air Titan).

I suppose they're welcome to go do something else - if they want to.

 

[Magicmiler]

Ive had my rear end staggered

 

[HoneyBadger]

LMAO NOW FOX pimps out SPEED Center three months before the network goes off air.

 

[ElliottFan]

I am up from my nap now. I knew they should have started the race early.

 

[Racer1930]

Pretty much full sun on the track now - should be an hour from a restart...I can't believe they would keep working on the track if they weren't planning on a restart.

 

[Nitro Dude]

If we do get to go back green then we are going to see an all out fight to be the leader, every lap will be run like it's the last lap of the race.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Why the hell doesn't EVERY NASCAR track have lights?? Lights and SAFER barriers should be standard by now.

 

[Racer1930]

Fox knows sports fans - if they re-start in an hour they will be the only game on the box. If I had a couple commercial spots for my company still to be shown I would be on the phone saying RACE, RACE, RACE!!

MONEY

 

[Magicmiler]

Um SAFER BARRIERS are standard

Amen. At least every track on the Srint Cup circuit.

Very true. NBA will be complete, MLB will be mostly complete, and NHL will have only one game on.

 

[FLRacingFan]

As multiple accidents have shown, there are still locations on the tracks where they haven't been installed.

 

[Racer1930]

If they do restart and have an hour program after that - that is big $$. Ad dudes are likely on the phones now selling extra ad time.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

They gotta get those lame cartoons on the air tonight. Fox loves those things.

 

[Racer1930]

Golf will be over too - and the NHL is getting close to Women's softball as far as viewership...so who cares.

 

[racer8]

They don't have them all the way around inside and out, only where they feel they need them especially the corners.
Some people feel, and I agree, that they should be installed inside and out including the straights or anywhere a car can hit.

SPEED Channel? Or is it too much to ask to cancel R U Faster Than A Redneck for a night?

When I was a kid, Saturday mornings were cartoon time. Now, Sunday night is cartoon time for adults.

I, for one, am glad FOX has that option nowdays. Remember back in the day on CBS the race would restart late in the day but CBS had to move on to regular scheduled programming and not show us the finish?
Now that sucked.

They can cancel it for the rest of my life if they like.

Remember when FOX's Sunday Night Cartoon didn't suck?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I've seen Family Guy a couple times. I guess making fun of a guy with a disease is entertainment for some.
