Nascar Rain Delays...

Getting frustrating to say the least, look forward to my sundays.....not rain delays and the constant "we are about ready to kick things off after the commercial break" only to keep us hanging on.
They can't race on an oval in the rain. The speeds they go it does not make sense. NASCAR actually has run on road courses in the rain. The Winston Cup Series did it at one of the races in Motegi Japan and Nationwide did it when they were at Circuit Giles Villeneuve.

I know i quit watching when they went to one body style. The only difference between manufacturers body styles was the ford/chevy/toyota stick placed on it. To much trying to make it equal,well is supposed to be a manufactures competition too. Make it conform to a certain percentage of what you sell on the street and let the chips fall where they may.

I thought it was "stock car" racing? Every "stock car" I have seen is capable of driving in the rain.
Turning right and driving in the rain ... just too much ...

Yup. I have seen Sports Car racing, F1 and Indy postpone, yellow flag or red flag races due to rain.
Also "stock car" in racing terms does not mean off the showroom stock. I would love to see someone take a bone stock car and slam it into a wall at 200+mph and walk away.

If they all have the same aero they should have limitless power (within reason). If they all have the same output they should have limitless aero. Alternate odd and even years. Oh and give extra points and trophies to guys who have not won in a while, just like in little league. Give Dennis Leary more material to work with.

Bah, I had a long reply and erased it. But wouldn't driving in the rain test the drivers' skill?
It's no longer a driving competition where the best driver wins, but rather a dramatic show put on for the fans in order to collect their money.

EXACTLY why there should be more road courses!
Most of the live, in person, ticket buying, fans are too busy partying to care either way, or to complain about not being able to see the whole 'show' ALL of the time.

I stop attending 20 years ago. I stopped watching 2 years ago. Interferes with my nap time........
Yawnnnnnn.........
Yawnnnnnn.........
I used to put the race on, then take a nap on the couch.
When I woke up, I could watch the last ten laps.
That was good enough for me.
