**5mike5** · 02-23-14, 08:09 PM

ares totally not set up for this, a GREEN TRACK

spells CAUTION< CAUTIONS AND MORE CAUTIONS

im lookin at the radar now and that storm looks like it will hit in an hour

**yisman** · 02-23-14, 08:11 PM

weather.com says 0% chance of precipitation for the next 3+ hours.

Good thing too, because so many people are waiting over there. It'd be pretty messed up if they had to send everyone home after 7 hours.

and making race on monday OR shortening THIS race would be a DISASTER for NASCAR..

That shit ain't hitting in an hour lol

**Vegas39** · 02-23-14, 08:13 PM

Cooler temps and more horsepower. Think we see a few engine failures

**shaunovery** · 02-23-14, 08:16 PM

**Vegas39** · 02-23-14, 08:17 PM

Drivers to cars

**yisman** · 02-23-14, 08:18 PM

you can prepare and prepare and something like this throws a wrench into it

the teams weren't thinking of a night race and neither were the bettors!

**yisman** · 02-23-14, 08:23 PM

JJ said he's been getting texts all day congratulating him on winning the Daytona 500.

**finfan88** · 02-23-14, 08:25 PM

They had a running ticker at the bottom. I think they always do. Something like "The Daytona 500 is currently in a rain delay..."

**Vegas39** · 02-23-14, 08:32 PM

One more yellow and Larson back on lead lap

**DDT** · 02-23-14, 08:32 PM

Thank god they are going to race again. The wife put me to work around the house as soon as the rain delay started

**5mike5** · 02-23-14, 08:32 PM

**firedawg** · 02-23-14, 08:38 PM

Will be intense now. Guys in back will start pushing

**MatI** · 02-23-14, 08:39 PM

**MatI** · 02-23-14, 08:40 PM

I think they will all go single file for atleast 100 laps and just try and tick off as many laps as possible.
