Rain at Richmond
Just a few moments ago, we felt the first few drops of what the weather prognosticators are predicting for later on this afternoon and evening. The Mark Martin crew thought they could take down the awning on the pit box--but not so fast, as you see above. We're hearing the rain on the roof here in Richmond's Media Center. The race is slated to start around 7:45 pm +/-.
Brian Vickers and Jeff Gordon are on the front row, qualifying 1 & 2 for the Crown Royal Presents the Russ Friedman 400, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Event that begins the professional racing season at Richmond's "Action Track". Gordon trails point leader Kurt Busch by five point.
The weather forecast is not promising for Sunday either.
You may have seen the Tweet about the passing of veteran NASCAR scribe David Poole. It's still the topic of many conversations in the infield. The guy could flat write, no question. There's a picture of David and a place reserved for him in the press room as a small memorial. RIP, David.
