Nice to see Haley win even though it was phony baloney. He's got a few extra people to send Christmas cards to this year: Austin Dillon, Kurt's crew chief, the sky god..

You realize a car owned by Jay Robinson has won a race in 2019 before a Stewart-Haas car.

Not to question the policies or anything because I know its the most litigious country in the world, but has there ever been an incident with lightning at race tracks that prompted this or is it just them being preventative

It seems to me that a race would've been stopped due to rain long before lightning would get anyone, but I'm not going to jail if anyone dies due to a lightning strike, so I guess that's easy to say...



In 95% of cases yes , ligthning falls in precipitation zone because the air is wetter and so more conductive for electricity which makes it much likely for an arc to appear. However there is a rarer type of lignthing (don't know the name in english) which can appear between the very top of the cloud and the ground , and can strike several kilometers away from the rain. This is where all the popular legend of "lighthning but no storm" come from btw(and I guess the 8 miles rule is in reference of this). The true question is why they didnt just empty the grands stand for 10-15 min while there is a risk and restart the race.Everybody have internet on their phones now , so people could have followed the race during this short period of time when they couldnt be in the stands. (And nascar have been running races with empty stands for while a now , so I don't see why it's sunddenly an issue for them)

If it had to end due to weather, at least it was a new winner. Sure beats another forgettable JJ/Harvick/Busch win.
