This comes after an ominous weather forecast has been threatening the Daytona 500 weekend all week. While Sunday is in jeopardy the Saturday forecast arguably looks worse, so, NASCAR made the first move.
NASCAR has recently gotten more flexible with rescheduling races. They postponed Cup Series races at New Hampshire and Dover the morning of the race, and the Clash at the LA Coliseum was moved up an entire day because of rain.
Fans are sad to see the rain hampering the weekend, but, they want to see racing. Ultimately, weather puts a damper on everyone’s plans.
