The very exact reason I write this post is to express a sole opinion.
This past Saturday night at Iowa Speedway, the NTT IndyCar series did somthing I didnt expect to happen: Complete a race to its full distance AFTER a massive thunderstorm ramsacked the speedway only a short time before the green flag was set to fly. If anyone watched the broadcast from NBCSN, you would know how rough it got. With all that being said, and it got into the 10-10:30 pm hour, myself personally, along with others on social media, had it locked in our mind that the race wasnt happening. But to the credit of Jay Frye and the IndyCar team….they werent giving up. They didnt, as a series, let Television dictate when the race would be ran. We know that has happened before from the NASCAR ranks, because some have openly admitted it. The IndyCar series committed to getting the race ran, and at 1:35 am, because I WAS awake watching the event, the race reached its completion. In times past, there have been races delayed at Iowa from the stock car ranks, due to weather. If an IndyCar race can get it done, NASCAR can EASILY do the same if the track has lights to do it. I say this because I know this for a face, if tracks like Texas, Kentucky, Chicago,Atlanta and Kansas have lights and are located in the proximity they are ( away from a major city center), theres no excuse at times NASCAR cant tell the TV people we are gonna get this race in TODAY. Because IndyCar did it. If I am paying $60-$150 for a ticket to a race, I want the series to get the race in if the track has lights and CAN run at anytime.
