Daytona 500 Postponed Until Monday At Noon
The Daytona 500 will has been postponed due to rain. The race has been moved from its traditional Sunday afternoon to Monday at noon. Per ESPN:
Rain saturated the famed speedway earlier Sunday, sending fans scattering for cover and leaving everyone in wait-and-see mode. Puddles of water formed in parts of the infield, and many fans got drenched as they tried to make the best of a less-than-ideal situation.
Drivers retreated to their motorhomes, surely relaxing while keeping an eye on developments.
While this has surely ruined the day for many fans, there is one silver lining. Danica Patrick didn’t crash any cars today!

So why were they drying the track at 4pm?
February 26th, 2012 at 5:47 PM
A crushing blow for automobile racing fans across the globe.

Because they are fucking idiots. They had a one hour window without rain and it takes 2.5 hours to dry the track…
They need to hire someone with common fucking sense that makes decisions in the AM when all you need is a radar to tell you that it will rain until later tonight.

I would rather get a refund or a voucher to next year’s race if I couldn’t stay Monday but this policy of trying to race to halfway so its an “official” race is bullshit. It would save a lot of heartache if they would figure that out.

im about to go Breesus here and say that I’m sick and tired of hearing about Danica Patrick. Darrel Waltrip is a fucking moron. She is NOT the face of NASCAR. She isn’t even a full time regular in the Spring Cup Series. DIAF Waltrip!

Not a NASCAR guy but Jeebus Gordon, Earnhart, Stewart, Edwards, Johnson aren’t those the faces of NASCAR?
Number 88 just bumped me! What the fuck was that?
February 26th, 2012 at 6:32 PM
Yeah. Darrel Waltrip also likes to blow Kyle Busch with his 23 wins in Sprint Cup , 51 wins in Nationwide (Oh, Congrats! The minor leagues of NASCAR!) and 30 wins in the Truck Series (minor minor leagues!)

Someone in here the other day joked about laying a bet on the odds of how long before she kills someone in a race. After this weekend, it’s less of a joke.
As an aside, that was an awesome crash that Gordon started Saturday, with him ending flipped over on his roof.
