    Coca-Cola 600 to run on Monday

    Starting at noon here on the right coast - on FOX. You folks on the left coast will have to get up early! And, yes, the weather for Monday is "iffy" too.

    Same time as getting up for Indy today, and the East Coast isn't necessarily the "right" coast.

    Someone should tell Lil France that starting a 600 mile race at the end of the day is ridiculous! I feel for the fans... That's why I don't attend the 4th of July race in Daytona anymore. If it had the 600 had even started on time, it created a dangerous situation driving home. It's too freaking late!

    All done with the effort to milk every possible dollar than can from concessions, etc.

    Someday the light bulb will go on...maybe that's why the stands aren't full now...

    Any real effort to change it would have to start at SMI & Bruton Smith.

    We live about 90 miles South of Concord. Close enough that our weather is their weather much of the time.

    Its supposed to be wet here in Cola all week long

    Dont be surprised if this race is in rain delay mode for a few weeks.

    when is the next free wknd?

    Same boat as Kev - the weather sucks...

    and having had to drive the narrow, dark, poorly marked roads near Concord with a bunch of f#%@ing lunatics around me, I can definitely agree on a day race...

    If they run it, we'll have the Checkered Flag Tavern open on Frontstretch.com. It's a live chat, go to forums and then hit the chat button.

    Iffy. Lots of small but heavy showers in the area. Could be an all-day affair.

    Kev, you have "cheap gas" down that way? It's slowly creeping up to $3.00/gal her in NY, NJ & Pa area. Was a buck 95 about a month ago.
