It looks like NASCAR can control the rain. Man, they have some super powers!

Welcome to the forum!! Glad that you found us. We have a weekly race predictions thread, to pick for 1st and 2nd. Hope to see you join us in that contest!! Well, I guess it's a safe bet to think Gordon isn't your favorite! Mine either!! So, who do you like?

Yep. When NASCAR and Hendrick team up it's an awesome thing to behold, isn't it? I understand the NOAA tried to get them to intercede when Katrina was bearing down on the Gulf Coast but they wanted too much money to turn the hurricane around. <g>

On the serious side, I can't imagine how anyone can "hate" another person who has never done anything to harm them.

I don't hate Jeff Gordon. Anyone who thinks Nascar is out there to give him wins is just plain wrong. Not trying to call names, but come on some common sense please. I really think Nascar wanted to get the race going so they didn't have to just give it to Gordo. I think Nascar themselves are tired of getting accused of giving races away to drivers.

What I hate is the fact that we can't get 500 miles worth of racing. If Nascar is going to change any more rules the first one I'd like to see is a full bill of racing. Look I know they can't wait forever to get a race in, but I'd at least want them to take an extra day to run the rest of the race. If we can't get a full race in by end of Monday then call it.

That's a little easier to relate to. But "hate?" That's a term I reserve for telephone solicitors, professional politicians, thieves, dolts who are unable to take responsibility for their actions, and assorted other pond scum.

NA$CAR's rules on this point are very clear (and very much the same as every other race sanctioning body): If the race is past half way and stopped with no chance to continue without reasonable delay, it will be called and the standings at the time of the red flag are final. I believe they think a restart the next day is an unreasonable delay.

I too would like to see a full race. In fact, I predicted at lap 102 Gordon wouldn't be leading in 5 laps, that both Newman and Truex would pass him. But the Rain Gods chose to deny my prediction.

I guess what NA$CAR needs to do is subsidize the tracks without lights so they can don't have this problem next year. Then by 2010 we need to have domes over all the tracks so weather isn't an issue. Then, by golly, we'll get full races and nobody will have to worry about not getting to see it 'cause they have un-refundable plane tickets or have to work or whatever other problems arise when a race is delayed!

heck, Kyle Petty said if they can put together a strategy like that, he's announcing his retirement 'cause he can't compete with that....

I think Kyle makes a better announcer than driver now-a-days anyway...

Yep! Kyle did da great job today!

As far as the win goes, not who I would like to see, but hating the man?? Can't go there. He's just too good to hate. And I'm not a fan either, but you have to be in the lead to win when the rain falls.

Congrats to the 24.
