The whole weekend from what I looked yesterday was going to be rained out. gently caress it return of Monday Night NASCAR and have them all race together, for guys doing double duty get recently retired guys to race and go for it.

Well, only 40% chance of rain tomorrow and Sunday. 80% today.

If the Big One collects him early enough, he'll scramble up there pretty quickly.

I don't know the last few years he has been able to hold out for a while and at least make it to the wreck that happens with 10 to go rather than a wreck that happens in the first 50.

rain all weekend then Monday night put all Cup, Nationwide and Truck entries on the track simultaneously. Let ARCA guys fill in for Buschwhackers for maximum hilarity.

Burger King has a lot of money and a willingness to back ill-advised decisions, that's all I can figure.

Burger King the corporation doesn't sponsor the BK cars, it's a burger king franchisee that sponsors them. At least it used to be that way.

To clear up this question it's one dude that owns a whole bunch of BKs and apparently also a good portion of Dr Pepper itself. Dude is purportedly fuckoff, gene-haas-style loaded. Forget his name though

Ron Devine though I didn't think he was super rich just mildly rich.

"Burger King franchise owner, Ron Devine; and tomato grower, Wayne Press; joined Thomas Uberall, former race director of the Red Bull Racing Team, to acquire the assets of the former Red Bull operation following its closure after the 2011 season."

If Nationwide qualifying is unable to continue the lineup will be set by the speeds posted during the first qualifying session. The only notable that would miss the race according to my math is Chris Buescher in the Roush Fenway 60.

So if we keep them circulating around the track then according to DW's vortex theory it'll keep the rain away.

Race tracks attract rain because of their bowl shape, vortex creates a circular motion and opens up the sky! Got to get moving!

Ok Fox Sports who was complaining that the ticker wasn't blocking more of the screen? You moved it from the right half of the screen to taking up 1/3 of the top of the screen. Progress but what was wrong with last year's ticker that didn't block so much of what we're trying to watch?

Competition cautions are bullshit and just reinforce that the first 75% of the race is a glorified practice session.
