A tornado ripped through the southside pretty bad. Race postponed because of standing water.

As the storms passed through the area, the caused damage in several counties, including Boone, Montgomery, and Howard Counties.

Looks like the tornado was south of the track.... Hoping everyone onsite is safe! Worried about those staying at the hotels in the area.

Sure wish they would move the #GYATK portion of the cancelled events to tomorrow night with the added participation from all around during smackdown!

Everyone still in Kokomo take care. Looks like another nasty Tornadic-capable cell is heading your way. Cell is east of Lafayette. It's tracking east/north-east and will run through Kokomo or just north of there at it's current path.

From leaving the track all the way to 31 there is just endless devastation. It went just south of the track and town. Very bad situation for the people just east of town. Many homes damaged. Praying for those affected

The Bryan Clauson Celebration of Life is live right now at 5:25pm eastern on thecushion.com and you don't need a membership to watch.

A tornado could be considered "Circular Insanity"

UPDATE: Now, at 5:30pm, they are ending the Celebration and clearing the grandstand because of more bad weather coming. They said the Tim Dugger concert is still on and would update on social media as to what time it will start.
