2020 Nascar - Texas - 2 To Go

[GA_Boater]

Precipitation has picked up around the track, pretty much lost everything that was somewhat dry. They are going to refuel the jet dryers.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Jayski said;

"constant mist all the way around"

A few minutes later - Mist continues to pick up some but they have not lost the progress. at least yet....

Followed by - "we've lost what we had on the back" says NASCAR :-(

Finally - And they have lost the progress on the front as well....

81 years ago, Scarlett said - “After all… tomorrow is another day”

Nascar quoted Admiral Farragut in the Battle of Mobile Bay - “Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!"

I'm with Scarlett!

 

[GA_Boater]

Even PRN signed off until 6 PM. I'll guess the crew is hoarse by now.

 

[GA_Boater]

Scarlett said - “After all… tomorrow is another day”. 3PM to be exact.

Maybe it will happen. If the forecast is reliable, some time between 2 and 3 PM, the rain stops for the rest of the day.

 

[GA_Boater]

Maybe today is the day! Just looked at the TMS track cam and off to the east the skies are brightening and no rain drops on the lens.

From Jayski;

Update, per

And another;

NASCAR now planning to push cars to the grid at 4:30pm/et and hoping to fire engines at 5:00pm/et

And this;

NASCAR had an additional jet dryer from Atlanta and two from Talladega arrive at Texas today to try to help track drying efforts.

Groundhog Day.......

 

[GA_Boater]

I think the race may get underway in a bit.

 

[WIMUSKY]

They're sitting in their cars, that's a plus. Go Joey!

 

[GA_Boater]

NBCSN is online and cars out of the garage.

 

[GA_Boater]

Bowyer is the leader and he's been sitting in the #14 since Sunday night making motor sounds.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Green, green, green....

 

[GA_Boater]

Green flag on lap 52!

 

[GA_Boater]

Bubba into the wall!

 

[WIMUSKY]

Kenseth loses it and takes out Bubba, both done....

 

[GA_Boater]

Went back to green, then a debris caution.

 

[GA_Boater]

More fans in the stands than I thought were would be. It's a miserable day in Ft. Worth.

 

[GA_Boater]

Bowyer won the the longest stage in history!

 

[GA_Boater]

Back to green for heat 2. Bowman the leader.
