Are they gonna get the race in today?

They've got lights and they're on the west coast, so I'd say probably.

Edit: it shows how much I've paid attention to NASCAR since this is apparently tape delay.

Dev is the guy who thought Jimmie Johnson won the 2014 Daytona 500 in spite of the scrolls saying "THIS IS LAST YEAR'S RACE".

E- They're showing Talladega again and it supports the argument Harvick deliberately spun Bayne. Harvick got the hell out of the way on the first attempt and stayed in line on the second.

And now let's go to Kurt Busch for his thoughts on today's rain delay.

EDIT: NSFW, I guess. But with Kurt I guess that goes without saying.

Well it's west coast so east coast people will be waiting a while. I'd laugh if they try to do an 08 California which they waited til 11 pm pst to call it. Predictions look doubtful to get to halfway tonight. If not then they'll be racing tomorrow.

Predictions say rain will ramp up big time by 9 pm which that's in 2 hours. Rain likely from now til past midnight.

Well, let's get as many laps in as possible! Expected start at 9 EST (8 minutes).

Advancement clinch scenarios:
-#18-Kyle Busch will clinch with a finish of 3rd or better; 4th and at least one lap led; or 5th and most laps led.
-#4-Kevin Harvick will clinch with a finish of 2nd or better; 3rd and at least one lap led; or 4th and most laps led.
-#78-Martin Truex Jr., #19-Carl Edwards, #2-Brad Keselowski, #41-Kurt Busch can make it in with a win or points and help.
-#22-Joey Logano must win.

There is a storm threatening to the southwest but it could narrowly miss it. But also they could make it to halfway before the storm.

If they lose the track the race is over. By the time they get the track dry the big storm will come and will be very late.

Here you go, NASCAR. Do you call an elimination race short of the full distance or do your best to run it to completion?

Hopefully Homestead ends the same way. A caution comes out in the middle of green flag stops, race called for rain. Champion determined.

I could see that race going til the morning if they have to. That'd be amazing, make it the 24 hours of Homestead, race oval on one lap and road course on the next lap.

Calling the race was the right call and honestly it didn't look like there was gonna be much of a change in the final four outside of any Edwards/Truex variance, so I'm not upset about how things turned out. It is amusing that NASCAR can't seem to have an elimination race that isn't a clusterfuck.
