Wet-lanta
Sunday was rained out as you know.
As for today ... good thing they're starting early. Dustin Long says it's dry now, but weather.com's forecast for tonight is downright dreary: 90 percent chance of a soaking rain.
Race has been moved to FX. Which stinks for me - our DishTV package (Reason No. 32 I'll stick with cable at home) doesn't have FX, and the Fox network wasn't going to run the risk of pre-empting Tyra Banks, Cops or Fox 8's news at noon ("Our motto: We recycle the N&R's headlines four hours later than the Fox 8 morning show!")
Still trying to find a radio station with an online stream ... any thoughts?
Update, 10:55 a.m.: Wasn't easy, but I found a Greenville, S.C. station that streams live AND is playing today's race. All hail WESC-92.5 FM. Who knew Glen Beck was more popular than racing?
The "Listen Live" button is on the right side of the screen, near the top. I didn't have to register - might have been because I'm registered elsewhere. Whatever - I'm not asking questions.
Update 11:15 a.m.: A curse on the entire state of South Carolina. The station whose call letters will never be uttered again switched to music right after the "start your engines" command. The search continues.

I feel your pain John. I just got done blogging the same woes. No FX channel for me either. We have the same package. What's so special about FX that they make it in the higher bucks category? I don't get SPEED Channel either. Double whammy with all the Busch races they are broadcasting on FX.

My college cable has 5 HBO's, yet no SPEED Channel. I remembered to set my VCR to tape it today. You really miss a lot of the race fast forwarding through commercials. Hmmph.

Ha, ha, Dude.
Thanks for Dustin and a TrackPass code, I got to listen to the PRN feed through the nascar.com site. Sounds like I missed a good race.
Matt, I'll need to borrow that tape to see with my own eyes that Kyle Petty finished eighth ... and there were more than eight cars still on the track.
