The softer compounds needed for rain tires would be destroyed by the stock cars. Too much force goes into the tires, and the car weighs so much, that they wouldn't last more than a few laps. Nationwide used them in Montreal last year, but it was more a publicity stunt than anything else. Of course, nothing beats Edwards cleaning his windshield with a Swiffer.
I agree that it was Vicker's fault for that crash, but it wasn't the crash that was the worst part IMO, it's the fact that NASCAR has gotten in the habit of making things up as they go. This year, race called on account of rain at 6PM; strange considering they raced at 2AM to finish the 500 a few years ago...
I've been watching since hour 8 about. Very good commentating, IMO. It only gets boring when you stop talking, lol. Interviews are good. Everything is quite professional. No complaints here, except trying to stay awake and support the guys I like. For the record, I am wearing my go PMD foam finger, and patiently awaiting his next stint.
I would race, and I was planning on racing, but one of my friends brought up a good point; last year's performance by the staff. It wasn't really what I want in a league. Hopefully you guys can get it sorted out this year though. I wish you nothing but sucess, and I wish the racers good luck against CoRe. If you'll excuse me, I have to go get my GO PMD! foam finger.
On the NASCAR subject, I've only been to Talladega. Although like 16 times. My dad used to work right across the street from the track. Good fun.
