I just had a dumb thought...

If the ARCA race got rained out twice (Friday and Saturday) and the N'Wide race got rained out on Saturday, could they run all three races on the same day?

Because really, ARCA in the morning + Cup early in the afternoon + N'Wide late in the afternoon = a fucking epic Sunday.

I would need to see a big pack to tell this for sure, but it seems to me that the two car draft isn't quite as effective as it has been in the past.

Weather looks good for tomorrow anyways. There's time to run the ARCA race if Cup qualifying is moved or cancelled. Otherwise they could do it Sunday after the Cup race. But for tomorrow I guess it really comes down to whatever the priority is.

It's stopped, but there's some fucking huge puddles all over the track. They still have about an hour or two to work with to get the track dried in time for the ARCA race.

It's not raining currently but the track is drenched. And from the looks of it there arent any ongoing efforts to dry it. However they said te arca race is still scheduled to run today.

Dave Moody said there's some speculation that the ARCA race could be moved to 8:00 AM central tomorrow.

ARCA will not be run today, but the concern is for the people camped out or otherwise at the track. There are several large and extremely dangerous tornadoes moving eastward through Alabama currently. At least two have history of being more than 3/4 mile wide and causing extreme destruction in Mississippi and Alabama.

Rain postpones ARCA race. Talladega hopes to open gates at 7 a.m. Central time and start ARCA race at 8 a.m. CENTRAL Saturday
