Who decided that the best time for racing was in the middle of the night?
I don't care what time zone NASCAR is in (Australia would be an exception), how in the world is this acceptable.
In a season that started off with Brian France preaching that NASCAR was getting back to its roots, it's already derailed in the second race of the year.
What person in their right minds anywhere not on the west coast (myself excluded) would stay up to watch this? Why? Why can't we just race on Monday, where ratings will be low--but higher than they would be right now--and people stuck at work could pop up the trackpass leaderboard?
Instead, NASCAR tries to save face in a market where their share sucks, and tries to run the race on the day it was scheduled when Mother Nature has other ideas. Yes NASCAR, we realize that the stands are going to be half full for this race. Yes, we realize that they will be 10% full if they raced tomorrow. But who stuck around through the rain for the midnight matinee?
If NASCAR can somehow explain this decision making process to myself and NASCAR Nation, I will gladly listen. While I fill out the asylum papers for the sport's decision makers.
