Not on an oval. They wouldn't even race on that track with a light mist of dew, let alone rain. Slight hyperbole, but not much. Ovals and water don't mix.

Even though I am a former pilot, I am still a weather geek. Saw the front this morning:

Five minutes ago.

Rumors say maybe a late start 3 or 4.

Yeah, looked at 9, it was impressive then, and still. Lots of lightning too.
They'll have a window after the track dries, but there's a second system. Not due until after dark in theory, but you never know...
