The green will fly

We're gonna go racin' here at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Driver introductions are done, the cars have been gridded, and we're looking at a 2:09 command for drivers to start their engines. It's very overcast, and gloomy, but there doesn't appear to be much in terms of showers headed this way, so this thing might just be completed after all. At the least NASCAR would like to get in the 150 laps that would make it official.

And we'll be here all afternoon to bring you the updates. Check back early and often, because the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is up next!

(I said that in my best TV voice.)
