Racing on Sunday starts on NBC at 7:30 AM with the Monaco F1 pre-race, followed by the Monaco Grand Prix. At 11:00 AM on ABC, the Indy 500 pre-race show with the Indy 500 at Noon. Then at 5:30 PM on Fox we have the Coke 600 pre-race and the Cup race starts about 6:15 PM. All times are Eastern.
78 laps/162 miles at Monaco, 200 laps/500 mi. at Indy and 400 laps/600 mi, for Charlotte. A grand total of 678 laps and 1262 miles of TV viewing. And 300 miles of X-Men racing on Saturday, too. We will have kinks in our necks. LOL Please no overtime at Charlotte! :eek The MRN weekend schedule;
The Cup entry list has 40 drivers, so it's full and none of them will go home.
The weatherman has a chance of rain on Sunday. And a tropical disturbance is churning near the Bermudas and may cause some rain in the SE US over the holiday weekend. Every time I look at the Weather Channel, they are talking about a lot of rain. No idea if it will make it inland as far as Charlotte.

News and Notes
- All-Star race - What can I say? Nascar lost their ducks, never mind having them in a row!
- The Coke 600 will feature cars with patriot themes and and each car has the name of a fallen hero.
- The Nascar Hall of Fame will be inducting 5 new members. In my mind Mark Martin and Benny Parsons are the most significant. Martin is the best driver never to win a Championship and Parsons did win in 1973, but he was one of the best race commentators after he retired from driving.
- Rumors were floating around that Harvick was going to switch to Hendrick so he could stay in a Chevy. That was scotched when he signed a contract extension with SHR and will be driving a Ford beginning next year.
- TV ratings - Both the Dover and All-Star races were down again.
