NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the series would work to get the race in this week -- perhaps going even as late as Wednesday if necessary -- to avoid returning to Michigan later in the year. If more rain were to force the event to be pushed back until later in the season, it would alter the entire dynamic of the Chase.
The Chase participants, Poston said, are decided by rule after the season's 26th event. If weather precludes the Michigan race from being run this week, it would be rescheduled for the weekend after Thanksgiving. That would mean the Chase drivers would be decided not Sept. 8 at Richmond, but Sept. 16 at New Hampshire. And the championship would be decided not at Homestead on Nov. 18, but the next weekend back in Michigan.

hey rockybrat, welcome to GoTeamsGo and the NASCAR forum. thanks for this post .. I've been wondering what was gonna happen if they're rained out. how in the world do they think they'll be able to run a show after Thanksgiving? there's usually snow on the ground there at that time of year... sometimes NASCAR just dazzles you with their stupidity.

oh well, don't forget to stop by the "predictions" thread and get your picks entered for this week's race.

Maybe they could have the "SOT": "Snowmobile Of Tomorrow" (Welcome, Brat)
