The 70th running of the Bojangles’ Southern 500 is currently delayed due to rain. With multiple rain cells striking the track.
The officials were in the process of drying the tracks during driver intros. We were able to get all of the drivers back to their cars to do appearances before the next cell struck, sending everyone running for cover.
Tonight’s #BojanglesSo500 at @TooToughToTame is under a weather delay.

Why didn’t they move the race time up to 1pm or 2pm?
