Looks like the forecast is correct. That's a bummer. It's almost as big of a bummer as that abomination of a firesuit that Graham Rahal agreed to wear. Someone in marketing needs to be demoted.

So, means Kyle Larson may be headed south soon. No way he'll miss the Coke 600. Darn...

....Actually, he did an interview this morning where he said that Indy was the priority, not the 600.

Its terrible in southern Indiana but seems to be getting better up in Indy. Still going to take a while to dry the track. And then hope the rain does not come back for 500 miles.

A friend at the track says cars are being pushed back to the track for the starting grid.

I hate these announcers. Yelling and screaming for 500 miles.
Just settle down.

I don't know if this is the most exciting 500 I've ever watched, or if it's Leigh Diffy's incessant screaming that makes it seem so.
