Daytona 500 delayed for bad weather


For fifty three years, the Daytona five hundred started while not a hitch – run each time on a Sunday afternoon. On the 54th, it rained, confusion and contingency plans stuffed the air, and nobody was bound what to try and do because the radar for Monday grew additional ominous.

Now NASCAR has its arrange, the weather forecasts seem like they'll comply, and, all things thought of, this can be the simplest issue to presumably happen.

The Daytona five hundred is scheduled to travel inexperienced at seven p.m. ET, beneath the lights, a form of “Monday Night Football” feel to the whole issue.

In some ways that it’s excellent for the debut of Danica Patrick, who in spite of the endless dialogue regarding her ability as a driver, unquestionably has brought a replacement and broader fan base to the table. Presumably there's a section of the general public that’s curious enough to tune in and was never wedded to the normal Sunday afternoon begin time of most Sprint Cup races.

Now, it’s the nice yankee Race and a contemporary yankee celebrity coming back along – in prime time.

“Certainly you wish to undertake to create some lemonade out of lemons,” NASCAR president Mike Helton said Monday morning. “Ideally the race would have started yesterday as scheduled, and it'd are sunny, and that we would are celebrating a Daytona five hundred champion nowadays. however beneath the circumstances, we’re simply attempting to create the simplest choices collectively.”

All day Sunday, NASCAR was targeted on the spirit of the competition. It tried desperately to induce the race in, bringing out a fleet of drying machines in arrange to prepare the two.5-mile track throughout lulls within the rain.

As the soaking continued, though, that was not possible. For the primary time ever, the race was moved to Monday, originally rescheduled for 12:01 p.m. NASCAR hoped to force the race in through a forecast of scattered showers. However, Monday broke to a nasty overcast and steady rain, which can exasperate before it gets higher.

On came arrange C, and if it comes off, the impact can be important.

NASCAR is riding a crest of momentum recently. Its product is incredibly sensible. Its 2011 season was one amongst its best – from the exciting and distinctive Daytona five hundred to the last-lap duel of the Chase for the Sprint Cup between Tony Stewart and Carl Edwards.

Speedweeks here are exciting and intriguing, with last-lap passes, heavy-impact crashes and a gradual diet of Danica – she even won the pole for last Saturday’s Nationwide Series race – all setting the tone for what has been one amongst the foremost highly anticipated Daytona 500s in memory.

This felt adore it can be one thing massive, one thing special. however would anyone actually need to own the climactic ending come back on a Monday afternoon whereas most of the country is either at work or school?

The other choices – run it on Tuesday or postpone it entirely till April eight, Easter Sunday – every contained their own issues.

Monday night is that the most suitable choice out there. If the rain clears through of course by four p.m. ET, then there's time to blow the track dry and, perhaps, begin beneath full inexperienced and let her rip – right within the heart of prime-time programming.

This will be the primary weeknight, prime-time race in NASCAR’s history. There has been a slow undercurrent of dialogue that the circuit ought to begin its fall Chase for the Cup on a weeknight in an endeavor to decision attention to its playoff system and avoid such overwhelming competition from a Sunday slate of NFL games.

Maybe this is often the forced experiment that produces that a reality.

No, the grandstands won’t be packed sort of a typical sun-splashed Sunday afternoon, when 150,000-plus pack the place. It won’t be as colourful or as family friendly. lots of fans had to go away early, to induce back to the $64000 world.

None of that was avoidable, though. The rain is that the rain.

All things thought of, Monday prime time, beneath the lights, a replacement explore for a sport with some new energy, may manufacture alittle of magic.

Weather allowing.

During the press conference after the fight, Mosley said he had problems with his right foot. In the sixth round, a blister on his foot has served as a "distraction."

Floyd Mayweather issue was raised after the battle of Pacquiao and his promoter Bob Arum. Pacman said he did not lose any sleep if Mayweather ever fought, but he knows the fans want to pay, so he will fight if it is done.

Arum said Mayweather wants to fight as soon as he knows where to call. promoter 79-year-old, who worked with Floyd Jr. said his relationship with the hunt will be fine. It 's only when and if Mayweather wants to fight. He pointed out that Mayweather was mentioned earlier position in the face of Pacquiao fight. E 'can push Matchup in 2012.
