Chances of rain will rise after 3PM. Just letting you know..

Last night at Terre Haute was another example of just how crazy the weather can be. This time there were storms in the forecast and I never thought we would get that race in after the gale force winds during the national anthem. But they got it in through a light sprinkle and a fantastic lightening show.

We are headed to DuQuoin today and looking forward to seeing the big cars under the lights. Hoping Ma Nature cooperates again.

I would say do like I am doing: go to the race and make sure you have an app on your phone that alerts you to severe weather if/when it happens.

We're on the grounds right now and it's mid 80's with a nice breeze. C'mon out practice starts at 5:00
