Why won't NASCAR race in the rain????

I can't understand why you can't race in the rain. Formula 1 does it and they just go slower. On banked tracks, it's not like you're going to have puddles either.

Is it because they think it's dangerous???? Well, then get the bald tires changed and tell the drivers to go SLOWER!!!!

I would say driving at 140 mph in sunlight on bald tires is more dangerous than going 100 mph in the rain on grooved tires.

The only way I win is if races are shortened and/or have huge crashes involving a bunch of cars. We had both today.

ironic.

they already had enough fucking accdients because of that stupid rule change, double file restart.
w/ rain, they'd have even more wrecks.
i prefer races w/ 0 wrecks.
makes it easier to cap

I might suck at capping NASCAR now, JOH and that is why I need crashes to win. That being said, if racing in the rain were allowed, fast cars would need to slow down a bit, and all the loser cars that I pick would have a shot.

I was at NH yesterday watched those hillbilly pricks driving in circles for three fucking hours then they called the race with less than 30 laps to go and it was barely drizzling.

wtf ???

Do they put fans in a motel thinking it's unsafe to drove back home?

Does any other form of racing stop for rain? Hell I have seen the Tour de France let bicycles go down hills at 55 mph in the rain. Everyone adjusts.
