Forecast: rain
If you've ever taken a close look at the road-course cars the Cup drivers use, you'll see these little metal thingees sticking forward right underneath the windshields.
That's right: They're windshield wiper posts. The wipers aren't attached. I suppose there's something buried in the NASCAR rule book about putting them on. (I mean, under a whole course caution, or a special rain-caused red flag. I have no idea exactly what it says.)
I caught the tail-end of a racing show on Fox Sports Net tonight, and the talking head said something about a 50 percent chance of rain Sunday at Watkins Glen -- which means there are even odds that NASCAR might run Sunday's race in the rain.
Wonder how those cars are going to do with rain tires?
