Wait. Does this mean a certain former racer is WRONG for a change? Chalk this one up for the first time EVER...... right???

I applaud that call, and even more so, making it early enough for fans and teams alike to change/make plans.

I was in the track area yesterday and everything around is extremly wet. Here's hoping there is a period of dry weather Sunday.

I doubt dust will be an issue with all this rain we are getting.

Cancel a race on Wednesday that is supposed to be run on Saturday because of weather.....when there is a greater chance of rain on Sunday when they have rescheduled it. I am sure it has nothing to do with USAC at Anderson. Very disappointed with THAT...

Rain is forecasted for the next two days, possibly heavy rain. Probably no track prep the next two days and track is still pretty soaked.

Cancelled??? Moved maybe, give them credit for looking forward and trying,would you agree Robbie?

I know times are tough and there intentions are good ones. I just hate races being canceled, postponed, reschudeled.etc.... three days in advance. Rain is suppose to be out mid to late day on Friday which would give ample amount of time to work the track......I guess I am just being Selfish because I want to go to THAT and Kokomo and now I cant... I know both races will be good ones....Now I just have to decided where to go.....
