And if the forecast holds, it's been getting worse not better here, rain and thunderstorms on the agenda for Sat afternoon and Sunday. Some could be heavy and severe so bet accordingly.

For the Alternative, I'd like to pick Marco Andretti instead of Spencer Pigot, realizing Pigot runs at Barber only for the 1st time in these cars. Is that still possible? Thanks.

[NaBUru38]

Of course, you are still on time.
