Looks like about an hour of rain and then maybe another hour to dry it out. There’ll probably be more racing today.

Daughter #1 called when it happened. Gave the classic line, "hey, that's racin' if Vickers can't handle it he needs to find another sport."

Did he really turn into him, or was he just trying to stay on the track and keep momentum going. Yeah, he’s frustrated and needs to get back up to the front, but I can’t agree with DW on this one.

Looking at it again in HD, I think he was trying to avoid the penalty and lost track of Vickers. After the penalty in the pits, I would bet somebody was screaming in his ear to watch the lines. It was still stupid, but understandable, given that the race is about to be called.

Ex-Candyman and Sorryson were in the pits when the previous caution came out, so they’re on the same strategy. DAMMIT!

Thanks for that radar GRRRRR. The system does seem to be moving fast, so maybe shorter rather than longer, depending on how fast they can get the water off the track..
