The rain has been coming down all day. The teams are still hard at work getting their cars through the inspection process but they will not see any on track activity today. Qualifying has been cancelled and the cars will start Sunday’s race according to the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series rule book (car owner’s points). Everyone was talking about the rain last night so it was no surprise to anyone. The weather looks good for the rest of the weekend.
The teams still have to work on their cars but I am sure that it makes it a little more laid back when they know that the weather is going to keep them off the track for the day. For the most part the teams have their cars ready when they get to the tracks. On Fridays they go through the NASCAR inspection area to be approved for on track activity. Tomorrow they will hit the garage area running.
I am going to be spotting for Damon Lusk in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race tomorrow. It will give me some good practice for Sunday. This will be Damon’s second start in the #25 Woodard Racing truck this season. I remember Damon always ran well in the ARCA/ReMax Series at AMS. He has enough experience to give his truck a good run here this weekend.
The NASCAR Busch Series is at Memphis Motorsports Park this weekend. It will be interesting to see if the weather affects any of the Cup guy’s plans on traveling back and forth. They probably got out of Atlanta this morning.
The races at AMS always seem to be exciting at the end. I am sure this weekend will be more of the same great finishes we have seen here in the past.

So much for all the hype about AJ driving this weekend...score one for mother nature!
Oh man Jason, sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead of you with your spotting but like you said, it will give you some great insight for the Cup race.
I do hope the weather holds out and that DJ has a great race on Sunday at Atlanta. You know I will be cheering him on!!!
Have a great weekend.
Tom
Good luck Sunday. I think your prediction for an exciting finish is going to hold true.
