I was watching the junior NASCAR racing series with my brother on Saturday. It was pouring down rain from Delta, but the race went on, because it was one of the few “road course” races that NASCAR runs. To be blunt, it was a cluster because it was pouring down rain and water was ponding on the roadway. It was funny to see air blower trucks going out and trying to move a half-inch of standing water, with more rain being added despite the effort. The race went like this—start, run a lap or two before there’s a wreck with a few cars, run a couple of laps under caution while the people who wreck go into the pit to try and patch up their cars, wash rinse repeat with the cars becoming progressively more banged up as afternoon turned to evening. At one point, there was a red flag called and drivers had to stop where they were. When they were released to go back to racing, they hadn’t made it even a lap around the roadway before there was a wreck with several cars involved. It was at that point I decided to lay down on my mother’s bed and take a nap. The race finally completed but it was just ugly.

Didn’t they used to call that demolition derby?
