It seemed like there was enough time to race before getting dark Sunday at Pocono.

The track was dry and ready to go and they had a good 5 hours to race.

Maybe there should be a provision to cut the number of laps when something like this happens again in the future.

Now most people who had tix's cannot return today due to work. Most viewers will be at work today during the race.

I'm DVR'ing it, but most people may not have that ability.

I would have preferred they try and get the race in, or at least get to the half point to make it official. Waiting until today to run the full thing is nice, except most people are not going to see it and recording it for playback just isn't the same.

The question should be, Should NASCAR race at Pocono period.

I didn't watch the race today, but I am willing to bet it was another snoozer.

It was worth waiting for IMO. Last 30 laps were like the local bull ring on Sat. nite. Kahne wasn't to happy with Montoya and I don't think Stremme will be getting a Christmas card from Robby Gordon this year.
