Hate to say it but it doesn't look too good for any time soon today. Little sprinkle going on right now at my house which is about 4 miles from the track as the crow flies. IF it goes today I expect it won't be until late this afternoon or early evening...bummer!
Well, I'll be home around 4, so that would be a good time for them to get started.
Really a bummer, though. We'll see when they are able to get it in. Hopefully today and not tomorrow.

Almost time to head to work....still raining. Who can make it for the 500 on Easter weekend?
Getting worse by the minute...just announced that the race will not run until 7PM.....and that's if it quits raining.
It is VERY unusual for us to have weather like this. RARELY do we have a system just keep pumping rain to us. It's almost always just a storm for an hour or so, sometimes less, and then the sun comes back out. To have 2 days in a row like this is really strange.....not counting hurricanes, of course.
Nascar announced green flag at 7:00 I think..
DIRT RULES!!!!
We need Hank Williams Jr now - are you ready for some Nascar? For a Monday Night party! NASCAR is prime time has I be good, IMO.

Ya most of the time its pretty good at prime time. But for me right now would have been the best time for me. But I only have like 60 minutes free.
My favorite drivers:
Cup: 39, 00, 5, 16, 21, 87, 9, & 31
Nationwide: 21, 16, 87, 11
Truck: Johnny Benson, 31, 62, 88

This one is really big because it's prime time on a weeknight on a major network. Lots of people will be watching tv. Should make for big ratings for the 500.

We could see a new race record tonight. Here's the way I see it.....these guys have GOT to get out of here so they can turn things around to be in Phoenix on Friday morning. I suspect (and hope!) everyone will be on their best behavior in an attempt to avoid caution periods. If that's the case (and NASCAR doesn't throw "mystery" cautions if the field gets spread out) we could see a new race record. Of course one other potential fly in the ointment is if NASCAR has already told everyone (except the fans) they only plan on going 300 or 400 miles. Believe me, that wouldn't come as a big surprise. Boooogity, boog..........oh, nevermind, that makes me sick.
So much for your theory. Wreck lap 1.

it says from foxsports.com
so much for trevor getting a chance at defending...Elliott Sadler tapped Jimmie Johnson from behind to trigger big crash just past start/finish line. Big chain reaction happens afterwards as cars scrambled to avoid the spinning Johnson - David Ragan cannot and hits him in the passengers side door. Danica got bumped a few times.

They could have both been strong tonight. Tough start. Still got some good bullets out there though.

did overhear Bob say rain could be a factor before the end.

i guess the fuel pressure problem hasn't been a issue since Carl mentioned it. he said over the radio that the needle was fluctuating and the engine was missing & holy S*** the 42 just wrecked the safety truck...
Brian
That was INSANE! Glad everyone is okay. That was scary! Huge fire ... Have you ever seen such a thing? Craziest race of all time!
- Andrew -
This race seems to have some of the craziest things ever
I'm just glad that truck didn't explode.

looks like they're going back to green soon.

Finally! I have to be in class at 8 am. Need to get to sleep soon!!
