This Will Stop A Race Cold

((HT: FoxSportsWorld/NASCAR))

The stock cars are at Watkins Glen going 355 miles before they're done...

But, this put a halt to the action on Lap 57


Thankfully, both Ryan Newman and Michael McDowell both got out of their cars after a little cleaning up, but the race and the track are still looking at over 30 laps to go when the red flag is pulled back from the tower...

As of 4:05 eastern, the drivers were called back to their cars...

IndyCar Toronto Goes Twice On Sunday

((HT: NBCSN))

The rain came plowing through the streets of Toronto yesterday and the IndyCar series was supposed to have two points races over a weekend. The whole weekend got condensed after two false starts and matching red flags.

How bad did it get...??? The pace car didn't even escape...


And in the second restart, Will Power ended up backwards...


The races were supposed to go two hours or 85 laps each.
The weather has moved everything to 65 laps and 90 minutes each Sunday.

But the cars didn't even get out of Lap 1 before wrecking everyone from 10th on back as rookie Luca Filippi got into Simon Pagenaud. The first race was red flagged Sunday as well while they cleaned up Turn 10.
