He's already gone. He left before they went green.

I like how they have less commercials during the rain delay then they do during the actual race

If we stop for sprinkles every time it will take a week to run the race. Run some damn laps.





That was the reason they were running single file, probably. Trying to eat up some laps before the rain got there.

The rules for a "complete" race were changed this year...it's no longer a requirement to get to the end of the 2nd stage. Just gotta complete 100 laps.

They should film Michael Waltrip out on the lake bass fishing to kill time.

The rain delay is more exciting than the actual racing.

Slick tires and no windshield wipers. 200 mph with no brake lights and in a pack would be

Sounds awesome.

Seriously, they do race in the rain on road courses.

Fox has always been like this, they also like to show commercials during racing and then cut back for 20 laps under caution

No shite they do.

You can't run any series in the wet on an oval track.

I’m pretty sure they were single file because of that. Wreck early and string the race out and they have to stay another day

Formula 1 puts on treads and race in the rain. If NASCAR wants to win back an audience they need to make modifications for racing in the rain. Treads, brake lights, and wipers are an easy fix.

Lower speeds, different setups on the cars, different type of tires, windshield wipers, etc.

Also they don’t make as much downforce as other series vehicles

They didn’t, he wanted to be home more and they can save money on travel
