Brooklyn in November - Oh Boy!

This doesn’t look good. From NASCAR.com
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the series would work to get the race in this week — perhaps going even as late as Wednesday if necessary — to avoid returning to Michigan later in the year. If more rain were to force the event to be pushed back until later in the season, it would alter the entire dynamic of the Chase.
The Chase participants, Poston said, are decided by rule after the season’s 26th event. If weather precludes the Michigan race from being run this week, it would be rescheduled for the weekend after Thanksgiving. That would mean the Chase drivers would be decided not Sept. 8 at Richmond, but Sept. 16 at New Hampshire. And the championship would be decided not at Homestead on Nov. 18, but the next weekend back in Michigan.
More fodder for those of us who think that NASCAR should build in an off weekend between Richmond and the start of the chase. If they had, we wouldn’t be looking at running in the cold to decide the champion. With a built in break it would give everyone an extra week to prepare, an extra week for all the crews to relax, and if you have a situation like Michigan, you’ve got an extra weekend to slip in a make up race.
