Radar's showing a small but intense cell around Indy.

Missing lug on the left-front, and they just red-flagged things.

[SouthTexas]

Lug nut. Looks real wet.

I just looked at the weather glock and there's a green blob right over Indy. But it doesn't look like a lot, it looks more like the clutter that we get here.

[steveegg]

Them TNT boys need to learn to tell the difference between ground clutter and rain.

Too bad this isn't FX covering the race; the fans in the infield would be enjoying another episode of Kenny Wallace hosting "NASCAR Drivers 360".

[NYTexan]

This should be good for about 50 commercials!

[steveegg]

It's mostly clutter. Image from the northern Indiana radar is here (Indy's near the bottom center of the pic.

[WestCoastGal]

It better stop soon.

I'm trying to stay off of QVC.

I hope Kenny is holding court and we get an interview.

[SouthTexas]

BP is sorry for all the fans that came to the race. What about all of us??? I'm sure there are far more watching on TV, or computer, than there are there.

Back to the chain conspiracy?

[steveegg]

They're getting wet there; we're not.

Rain looks to have slowed down some.

[steveegg]

So far we got Jason Keller and Denny Hamlin on the camera. The drivers can't hide because the haulers are not in the infield.

[SouthTexas]

Yeah, I know. :)

[WestCoastGal]

Speak for yourself, it's wet outside here. lol

They need to bring umbrellas. One thing this California girl learned in Texas is always have an umbrella.

[steveegg]

The Louisville radar has a more-traditional color scheme (the usual blue/green/yellow/red). Looking at the loop, it popped up quick, and is a small cell, but it ain't moving too quick.

[steveegg]

Wish it was wet here (though I was pretty much a drowned guy a few Saturdays ago).

Cat in the Hat on, and now David Green. Umbrellas still out.

[SouthTexas]

Finally found it---3 sets of tars.

[WestCoastGal]

Why don't they ask Jack the tough question.

"How bad off are you" to Jack because he's sick.

[WestCoastGal]

LOL LOL Bass Pro Shop has a puny umbrella.

[steveegg]

I didn't take their raingear when they were in Milwaukee, honest :-)
