I think a lot of people would pay to see that. JG is such a wuss.

NASCAR has NO business using these so called 'rain' tires from Goodyear. Doesn't ANYONE remember Indy or have we all forgotten already?

Not to mention, who in their right minds would pay $75-$150/ticket to sit in the rain for 4 hours.

If they move the race to Monday and you have a commitment (work)
you don't see the race and your ticket is worthless. I think many would sit in the rain.

I actually thought the rain made that race more interesting than it normally was.

Toronto Sun, My 13 year old could write better then you.
Rain tires on road courses would be fine, I fand them boring anyway.
Good Morning All, thought it'd drop in before bed time.

Yea, Fand is a word, somewhere!

How much did NASCAR pay Goodyear to make a tire that they will never use? Does anybody see a big fat waste of money here?

Maybe they should take the rain tire development money and use it to develop an Indy tire that won't blow up like a Firestone on a Ford Explorer after 20 laps..

Jeff should just agree with tony. i'd had to see tony have one of his temper tantrems.

Bad planning if you can't stay an extra day after shelling out the dough to see a race....

The same people who spend 75-150 to sit in the stands for 4 hours watching people drive cars in circles?

Some people have a priority in life.A job to take care of children is important to some people. Others like to pay the bills on time and a job helps that.
Nascar is a great entertainment source but you can't build your life around it. Family comes first,and family usually depends on the employment of someone in the household.

I'm going to Branson, going to catch Yakov Smirnoff show, Vegas has just got too boring after they blew up the Frontier (had my first job there as a bus boy).

I am crying if you can't tell.

Guess I could keep Gordo company, better yet maybe Jeff would come with me to Branson, we could dine together at the finest coffee shops and take walks in the sunset of Branson, we whine and dine together, in the RAIN, oh how I dream

Who the hell is Yakov Smirnoff?

Yakov Navmovich Pokhis = Yakov Smirnoff
You would like him as he doesn't like Dale Jr.

I would gladly sit in the rain to watch a race that I had paid for.......if they continue with it in the rain, ....then I watch in the rain......I only pay for things I really like so I stay.
I agree with JK. about staying over on the Monday......bad planning has nothing to do with it......that extra day off from work is not an option for many people..

He's the worst Russian comedian of all time, wait he's the only Russian comedian of all time.
He does have a last name that is dear to my heart,
mmmmmmm

Back to Nascar,
there are only 44 cars entered for Sunday, means only one goes home, that is not a good omin, the trucks have had less than 36 many times this year, not filling the field says a lot about our economy, bad bad economy.
