I understand the race was rain-shortened, but why didn't they just red flag the race and finish it another day? 5. possum posted: 01.22.2021 - 7:25 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @4 - Since there were 6 caution periods, and the lap leader list doesn't show anyone leading for 110 laps, I'm going to guess it was one of those days when it rains a little, then stops, then rains a little more, then stops. Back then things like jet driers and Air Titans didn't exist, so the only way to dry the track when the rain stopped was to run the race cars around under caution. 18-20 caution laps of track drying after each rain shower and there's your 110 laps of yellow. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Post a comment:* Your comment may not appear immediately - all comments must be approved by the moderator.
