Rain, rain go away come back another day!
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Samsung Mobile 500 | Texas Motor Speedway Open Race Thread
Right now it looks like the rain is going to stay to the East for most of the day, but I’m not a weatherman so what do I know. I hope they’ll get both of the races in today, but I’m thinking the Nationwide race is going to be postponed to Monday, which leads me to the question I asked yesterday, “if on the day of the race NASCAR knows that they can’t get a full race in, or even 1/2 of one, because a big storm is on the way but they could if they started an hour or 2 earlier should they move up the start time? They could show the race on TV at the regular start time and do it as a tape delayed race like they used to to do back in the days before Twitter and the like.”
So what do you think?
Starting line-up is on the other side, see you there.
