I'll open this if, or when, we get a race. Not looking too promising right now. But I have my fingers crossed.

Too much water rolling off those umbrellas to even think about racing.
Looks like racing will happen!

How is this still green? NASCAR just gonna run it till somebody spins?? Not complaining just typing thoughts out…

Not looking to good on the camera shots. Another time NASCAR burns themselves with planned cautions. If it's misting heavy keep the track green while you can so it stays warm rather than putting out the comp caution.

Wider tires on this car certainly help with grip in wet conditions compared to what we're used to.

Pockrass says they're starting to lose the track.

When did they put wider tires on the Xfinity cars?

If this delays the Cup race an hour or so I would not mind. Makes that a true day-night race which would be interesting.

Local weather guy saying the rain/mist should move out in about 15-20

Confusion on Twitter about what happens if this delays continues. I'd just think they push the Cup race back but they might not be the case???? Seems bs to me I'd think they would just finish the Xfinity and run cup whenever those happen.

New member that just found the board, hello...I hope all of you are well.
What's confusing about this is the weather. Currently, there is no radar showing any type of precipitation over CMS. I think there are only two options here for NASCAR...Run the entirety of the race or shorten the Xfinity race...There's no way they should make these fellas jump out of the car and then race after the cup race.

There's also growing concern about the Xfinity teams because they have to leave for the West coast tomorrow morning

Welcome!
There'd have to be at least a 45ish minute timespan between races so that the Xfinity pit crews can pack up, leave, crew members change into their Cup uniforms, and set up their Cup pits. And all before the anthem/innovation/command to fire engines (unless they did any of this yesterday, which I don't believe they did).
So overall at least an hour between the Xfinity checkers and the Cup pace laps.

There’s probably only a limited window available on FOX (until 8 PM ET maybe) before they’d have to get kicked to FS1.

Yeah. I don't think shortening the race is the answer. I hope that's not even on the table. That'd be unprecedented.
That's my concern. I'll be waiting for them.

Anyone actually believe Creed that he did that by accident on pit road? In my opinion, that is kind of his persona as a driver. Overly aggressive, primarily.

The crew chief has already accepted blame.
Hoping for a good day for Sheldon Creed.
