4:02 p.m. ET — As updates go, it’s pretty much what you might have expected. Track drying is still under way, it has stopped raining and there’s hope of getting the race in tonight. However, there is also another big rain cell headed in the general direction of the facility.
3:57 p.m. ET — The skies over the track are looking much more encouraging than at most any other point today!
Yeah, but the skies above the gulf and the western side of the state don't look encouraging at all. The efforts to dry the track are gonna be a waste as they get hit again in about half an hour. If this thing runs today, it'll be after 8:00 ET.
