Parts of Chicago have seen in excess of 8 inches of rain today - it’s a mess.

Yeah, it's like a record rain for this day of the year. Crazy. Of all weekends. Meh. I hope they can get started soon.

Rain has let up and the dryers working on the road. They are also uncovering the cars and called for the drivers to get ready.

On the track, let's hope they can get this thing in tonight.

Looking forward to seeing how SVG does. He's starting P3.

Hoo boy! Lots of slipping and sliding. This gonna be good.

LOL! KB is stuck it the tire barrier. Love it.

 

[superchuck500]

This is cool.

There are no lights, hopefully they can get it all in. Going to be really interesting if the track dries enough for slicks - it will be like F1, pit timing to change will be critical.

I think they started way too early. Still a lot of puddles and even treaded tires aren't getting much grip.

And DirectTv who has been having a dispute with our local NBC channel just shut it down while I was watching the race. ARGGG!

Lmao, turned into a parking lot!

This race is off the charts! Best race of the year. Make this permanent please!

Congrats to SVG! Man sucks he's not in Nascar full time. That guy is a talent!

That was so awesome - what a race SVG ran! I had him in my pick’em, and Ross last week, two in a row! SVG was just outstanding.

I loved the course and the racing. Late start after torrential rain almost ruined the weekend but in the end, they got a chance to run it and it was freakin great.

I loved the shot back down Jackson Dr. as they came to the last turn before the S/F line, with regular traffic going on behind the race.
