RICHMOND, Va. -- Fearing for the safety of more than 100,000 fans expected to attend the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 at Richmond International Raceway that was scheduled for Saturday night, NASCAR officials elected Friday evening to postpone the start of the race until 1 p.m. ET Sunday after rain from Tropical Storm Hanna threatened to swamp the track.

Spinoff rain from Hanna struck RIR Friday afternoon at about 4:15 p.m., wiping out all hope NASCAR officials had of holding the remainder of scheduled activities for not only that evening, but for all day Saturday as well. Hanna was nearing hurricane strength as of Friday afternoon as it worked its way up the East Coast, with the storm's projected path over eastern Virginia.

"We've postponed everything until Sunday in lieu of the weather, in lieu of the forecast, and in lieu of what all the state, local, city officials are telling us about the impending winds and rain. We felt it was the right decision to make," said Jim Hunter, vice president of corporate communications for NASCAR.

Two races in one day?
Ah the poor souls who run out of da bubbly stuff.

There is already a thread on this, but with the time warp issues the board is having (post's appearing as posted 16 hour's in the past), I can see where you didn't see it. We will see where this post shows up.
