NASCAR: Sometimes You Win, Sometimes You Lose, and Sometimes It Rains

I start with that fitting quote from one of my favorite movies Bull Durham (yeah I know its a baseball movie, but it was set in North Carolina), because Crash Davis was right and like baseball, most forms of racing can't compete in the rain, except Lemans and Rolex series.

I know the issue has been raised about running on rain tires (and it was unsuccessful, heck Goodyear can't make a decent dry weather racing tire), and with the way most tracks are its just not safe to run on a wet surface.

My beef with NASCAR is how they have people waiting with baited breath about whether a race will be run, postponed, or cancelled (to run the next day), and it's just a time consuming and frustrating affair.

It happened this week, it happened last week at Pocono, and it happened a month ago here at Chicagoland with the Nationwide race.

Like all things NASCAR, I just wish they would make a quick decision instead of dragging it out to try and get a race in that might not be under the best conditions or that might have to be postponed again.

I know there has been a lot of rain here in the Midwest and in the Northeast and that just can't be helped.

However, NASCAR needs better organization, information, and management. Then again, you could say that about the COT & several other issues.
