No rain gear for the Cup cars. The Nationwide cars will race in the rain if need be.

They don't have wiper setups and proper rain tires for the heavier Cup cars. Remember, the tires the Nationwide cars ran on were SEVEN years old.

Qualifying rained out...no Boris Said and Brian Simo


It's 2008, a road course and no rain tires....it's hard to take NASCAR serious.

It's weird weather this weekend with very cool air and sun alternating with rain downpours.

Is that an argument to use no rain tires?

Well it sounds to me like they need wiper set-ups and newer tires then. Not having something is not an excuse when you've had all of the time in the world to come up with it. Every other series runs road courses in the rain. Get with the times, NASCAR. Boris and Brian should be in the field.

Edit: After switching over to NASCAR.com, I now see that Boris will drive the 45 in place of Kyle Petty. Good move there.

Nope just telling you what the weather is.

Today it's very nice so far. No sign of rain yet.

twiddles thumbs*

Quite a big flag, but it seems everyone will be OK.

The restart should be good, presumably Tony will play it safe. The others may not...

I was under the impression that everyone was OK, but don't know for sure.

The restart was alright. Montoya lost a place and then got it back. Last lap an 2nd to 4th are close.
