"Weepers? Jeepers Creepers!"
When rain saturates the ground, the water will find its own level. Usually, water will find the path of least resistance. In the case of Kentucky Speedway, the water that saturated the ground around the racetrack found that path of least resistance in some spots in the pavement and roadbed that make up the racing surface. That is called a "weeper". With IndyCars running on ovals with racing tires with no tread blocks, a spot of water would cause problems. Hence the caution in drying up the water seeping through the surface. Indy Lights have the similar problem.
Therefore, the officials put the schedule in flux until the weepers can be fixed.
