NASCAR says wet weather racing at New Hampshire was 'very successful'

NASCAR waited out a nearly two-hour, 15-minute rain delay in the final stage Sunday and mandated teams run the final 77 competitive laps on wet weather tires. Twice under caution, NASCAR allowed teams to put on new sets of wets with non-competitive pit stops but never felt the track dried enough to allow teams to return to slick tires.

So, with the overtime, our fans got the whole ticket and they got to see some great exciting racing.” Sawyer insisted NASCAR does not want to be in the “tire business” – dictating when teams can pit and what tires they must utilize. However, resuming the race without completing drying pit road, presents numerous challenges if competitive pit stops were employed.
