Right Decision…?
Do you think that NASCAR made the right decision to end the Daytona 500 early due to rain?
I think that they made the right decision, because it is already dangerous for those drivers out on the track, but adding rain to the mix only makes it worse. Don’t get me wrong, I was totally bummed when they decided to end it, but I am glad that they did for the safety of the drivers.
There has been some conversation about whether or not they should let Daytona count. According to NASCAR regulations, as long as the race is over half complete, and in this case it was. The drivers completed 160 laps in the rain, so I am glad that they are counting the points from this race!
What do you think? Do you think they made the right decision?
