I think that the worst of it is right now and they will be able to get underway an hour or so late and get the race in.

Flipping between Monster Jam and the game. I really, really want to get the chase settled. Hope we don’t go into tomorrow.

Form the Racetrack website.

RICHMOND, Va. — Heavy rain and high winds accompanying a fierce thunderstorm ripped through Richmond International Raceway on Saturday night, delaying the start of the Federated Auto Parts 400.

The green flag was scheduled to drop at 7:43 p.m. ET. Officials from NASCAR announced that the start would be delayed about 7:10 p.m. ET, adding that they were hoping the storm would pass and jet dryers could get on the track no later than 8:30 p.m. for a start no later than 10 p.m.

Spokesman Kerry Tharp confirmed that it takes 75 to 90 minutes to dry the three-quarters-mile track.

The rain has stopped at my house. I’ve been watching the NHL network replay of the Caps Pens 2011 Winter Classic, the game in which Crosby got his concussion.

Thanks Norm. It was just a few minutes ago that I was looking around. The race may happen as the rain here in Concord was very short-lived. The system is moving fast. Could be a 1am finish but not a first.

Even a few fans in the stands... It’ll take a while to get the blow dryers done with their job.

OK for now but that red, orange, yellow, and green below might be an issue. Let's hope not.
