    @highoctanecards ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The 1993 Blizzard of the Century was interesting. The Cup race was held a week or so later. The Busch race ended up moving to November as thr season finale. I believe the Busch series wad racing at Hickory the following weekend.
    1987 Spring Richmond race wad also moved back a couple weeks from its original date because of snow.

    Another one I haven’t seen talked about is Texas in 2020 I believe when it was rained out all the way to Wednesday and Kyle Busch would get his one and only win of 2020 in the zombies skittles car I was in attendance for Sunday they made it 4-5 laps in and Kevin Harvick slid up into the wall when the rain started we went to bass pro across the street to wait out the rain and we wouldn’t go back to the track to finish it. Pretty wild race

    I'm more of a theorizest (if there is such a thing) I think part of the reason why some tracks are hit more then others may just be the timing of El Nino and the geography.
    I'll elaborate. When El Nino is on our side of the hemisphere, the panhandle of Texas gets almost flooded out. But when it isn't Rain in our area is it rarity.
    Traffic pollution may also be a factors but i'm not entirely sold on that one

    How about the 1998 Daytona summer race, which was postponed due to wildfire? Should be mentioned next time. And was won by surprise, Jeff Gordon.

  • @jvorick2219
    @jvorick2219 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    On the weather side (meteorologist here)… Darlington gets a LOT of pop-up thunderstorms as does Daytona for the summer race. Pocono deals with storm systems tracking through the region that can cause trouble in the mountainous spots there. The Daytona 500 gets bad luck with cold fronts that stall in Central FL. I can go on and on lol
