Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race looks set to be heavily delayed.
Thunderstorms are affecting the area Sunday afternoon, causing a likely delay in the Cup Series race
“I just told him to get off my tower in turn 5 because Nascar is in a lightning strike. He’s going to be on hold for 30 minutes if we don’t get any more strikes within 8 miles. No track activity until he raise the dam,” Dale. Earnhardt Jr. he tweeted.
“Every time within 8 miles resets the 30 minute clock.”
Fortunately, it looks like there will be a decent-sized window to enter the race.
Still, lightning is never good.
It’s been a rain-delayed season in the NASCAR world.
“Every week lol,” one fan wrote.
“The whole storm has lightning, so this will take a ……………………………….. ……. …..while,” one fan added.
“The cup is repeated every Sunday with rain,” added another fan.
The race was scheduled to start at 3 pm ET on USA Network, but that won’t happen.
