The local DFW area stations are predicting 60% chance of rain for Sunday.

They thought they'd be "funny" and preempt the October Charlotte Busch race that was scheduled for TNT. The plan was to run it at its time and then play it the next AM on delay. I mean the 18 billion replays of L&O couldn't be preempted ya know. But Mother Nature heard the cries of us fans and it rained so they had to do a double header on Saturday *giggle*. I don't think any cars ever hit the track.<BR/><BR/>Yes that was my argument too...as much as I love my YUMYUM and love every second I see of him, the Pick 'em Ups crew DESERVES to do the Fox races. It's only 2 freakin' races! <BR/><BR/>@Dot---that would make sense. I know he's doing something with Rutledge for the VJGC maybe that's what it's about. I joined the Facebook page but really hadn't looked into it much...need to do that.<BR/><BR/>@anon 12:16--what are you talking about? Fox stayed on the air and tried to entertain us until NA$CAR made the official call.

On the TDP side, they include TV and radio coverage that has been sold in advance to advertisers. <BR/><BR/>We went though this discussion in the past with the rain and NASCAR said it is going to keep the current policies in effect for the rest of the season.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-2955589397068120832009-03-29T09:37:00.000-04:002009-03-29T09:37:00.000-04:00Just wondering.
