It is a wonderful day when NASCAR
starts the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona
International Speedway. But rain has become a main hurdle to complete the race.
The day race ended up in the night due to cause of steady rain at Daytona.
The showers led to stop the race
on Saturday night. These showers are varying in intensity and are scattered. The
main concern will be rain continue as we go through the afternoon and whole day
we handled over the showers and thunderstorms.
The season first race Daytona 500 was also stopped because of
rain and ended up in the lights. The situation had occurred in the second race The
Coke Zero 400 as like Daytona 500. The Saturday night forced the postponement
of the race until Sunday.
The Coke Zero 400 started at 11 a.m. Sunday, completed about 14
hours after official postpone the race. Bristol also was affected by rain, and
Texas was delayed a day.
"We seem to have a little
bad luck with the weather," said Joie Chitwood III, the track president.
"We had it in February and we have it right now."
Chitwood did not want to move
race from its traditional Saturday time to another schedule because the race
has been running at that spot for 27 years and of course on the national
holiday. He said. "I think July Fourth weekend is a great time."
