Thumbs down Postponed

This ticks me off! Stupid Mother Nature. I don't get many Sunday's off, but I took today off for this race, planned on drinking beer all day and watching Matt sneak up and win his second Great American Race!

Now 3 beers later I'm just sad. :(

Tomorrow will be a really long day at work and it's not looking like they will get the race in then either.

A Tuesday Daytona 500 seems like a Nascar dream.

We'll be lucky to get it in tomorrow, if we do it will be at least Monday night. I'm thinking Tuesday for sure though.

NASCAR will also have to factor in if there will be enough time to get the teams and haulers to Phoenix. They have to be in the garage by Thursday so its going to be pretty hard on the smaller teams to get cars and such prepared. I've been seeing on Twitter (Not sure how reliable the rumors are) that if they can't get it in they will race the 500 on Easter weekend.

...having the Phoenix race after Daytona always seemed like bad idea to me.

It seems like it would be more efficient to work their way out west instead of running out there from straight from Florida.

This will end up under the lights tomorrow night. That's probably the best case scenario for Nascar.

That's the only scenario I could watch it live. I'm wondering if Fox is contractually obligated to show the live race if it get's pushed till tonight?
