Looks like the race is going to start in about 15 minutes - go to eastseries .com - They are doing "The Toyota NASCAR All-Star Showdown As It Happens."

They say that the Camping World Series Race is next.

Lap 50 - Very clean race 77, 58, 61, 34, 45, 10 transfer.
Lap 35 - 78 Kann spins and brings out the yellow. He is back in line.
Lap 25 - 19 brings out the caution; run order 77, 03, 61, 45, 58, 10, 89, 00, 21, 39.

Getting ready for the green.

Cars in the Open by Car # = 19, 77, 03, 45, 61, 89, 00, 39, 10, 21, 91, 04, 34, 58, 99, 65, 5, 7, 31, 78, 0

We are being treated to a really beautiful sunset; however, there are still some rain clouds in the sky.

I looks like about 26 cars in the field.

They are staging the Camping World Series 50-Lap “Open.”

Question from Firecracker!:

So do you know what happens if the rain doesn't stop?

Is the track availiable on Sunday...or what other options are availiable?

Hey, remember when they tried running a Nationwide race in the rain...up in Canada? :)

Answer from NASCAR Race Mom:

No one here is really sure what our options will be. I believe that the track is available. The speedway website shows no events scheduled for tomorrow. No official word from NASCAR as of yet. I will let you know as soon as I hear.
