Can somebody explain to me why NASCAR starts their season with their Super Bowl race? Wouldn't it be better at the end when the points race is a huge factor? Wouldn't that help draw in more of the fringe non racing fans? It just seems like having it this early makes it seem more like exhibition race.

Not a NASCAR fan and always wondered that about how their scheduling works.
The 500 has been around longer than the Super Bowl. At some point someone referred to the 500 as the Super Bowl of racing so people think it's the same when it isn't. It's a celebration of the sport and the season.
Also Molly McGrath is a babe

Optimistic play is to continue race at 7 central but nothing official - pending severe weather warnings. That's the gist of a recent post from Chris Meyers on Twitter

Hope they get it in today. It'll suck for those who have to work tomorrow during the race if it does get postponed.
