Green green green!

past weather dictates there's a good chance of rain in march at atlanta. it's one of the reasons why they moved it back a few years ago

If that's the case, then NASCAR shouldn't race anywhere because they've had weather in the past.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

look at all that water flying up off the track!

Jr. Was just straight wheel hopping
Edit: Now Waltrip talks about it.

you're missing the point. of course there's the risk of bad weather every race but why would you move it to a month where there's an increased risk that you are going to have issues with rain

They would have been racing in Phoenix this weekend if the schedule wasn't changed. It's suppose to be rainy there today as well.

NASCAR can't win.

Under your own logic, should the races at MIS not happen in the summer because there's an increased risk of rain and thunderstorms in June and August? NASCAR can't control the weather.

 

[Blitz24]

They should have done the 2nd race at Loudon. Would have been smarter.

I second that. Get studded tires and let them rip!

How about a snowy 2nd Watkins Glen race #runtheboot

 

[ukfan758]

Stenhouse with tire trouble, caution is out.

 

[kolio]

Why are they doing a Competition Caution?

Stenhouse couldn't even cause the caution. He's losing his touch.

they can't control the weather but they can help reduce the risk of a race suffering rain delays by looking at past weather history. march is historically the wettest month in atlanta

 

[GTPorsche]

Why are they doing a Competition Caution?

Because there was rain this morning.

 

[nascarfan1400]

I'm seeing a few raindrops on the inboard cams

You don't want to be up here around this time of year. It never gets up above 20

 

[chances14]

this is cool. nice tribute by ams on lap 24 to gordon

 

[GTPorsche]

Caution out for #3 flat tire.

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

Glad I ain't alone on that

EDIT: Classtacular on the scoring tower

Darn it. Gordon is in 43rd.

 

[Gerarghini]

And 1st too apparently

 

[ukfan758]

Run marshall run!

 

[nascarfan1400]

Nascar bending the rules for Dillon. No surprise there.

 

[The Bman]

Of course 10-gallon cowboy hat Dillon is allowed to get the free pass despite the debris explicitly coming from his car...

 

[Leadfoot530]

Ok, how does that even work? #3 spews debrie everywhere, caution comes out. NASCAR says it's just for debrie, most likely coming from the #3, but they say he didn't bring it out.

Wat?

 

[ukfan758]

Back underway.

 

[Blitz24]

No, it was from the other 3 car. Actually it was from the 24. NASCAR is using the scoring pylon on lap 24 to judge who caused the cautions.
