Ofcourse the laps will count. They'll start tomorrow on lap 12 or 13 or whatever it was, have a few pace laps under caution and then cut them loose.

# Rain postpones race until Sunday: Steady rain at Richmond International Raceway has postponed the Crown Royal Presents the Jim Stewart 400 at Richmond International Raceway. The race will now be run at 1:00pm/et on Sunday and be broadcast live on Fox. The grandstand gates at the track, along with suites and the TORQUE Club, will open at 10:00 a.m. Sunday. The parking lots will open at 6:30 a.m. Rain stopped long enough during the afternoon for the track to be dried. The race started under a green/yellow and ran 12 laps under caution before being red flagged. Because the race had not run any laps under green, they will restart at lap 1 on Sunday.(5-5-2007)taterracing said:

yea i remember being at Talladega last year when it rained out until monday and we had made all of our plans to be riding home on monday rather than fighting traffic on monday to get back after the race.
it is good that they will start it back over at lap 1. i didnt agree with it last year and i dont agree with it this year, if the race is going to start, let it start under green not yellow. with todays point system every point counts. i aint saying that i dont think gordon will lead the first lap, but what if he doesnt. he could miss a gear and slow up. and hell the 12 laps he led under yellow could have made the difference in between him leading the most laps and someone else leading for most laps and them getting the extra 5 points.
but also i dont write the rule book so i just got to go with it.

Looking at the weather this morning and looks like it might be a better day for racing today. Not going to be a night race so it may effect some handling. Clean surface, warmer temps, COT cars, Gordon on the pole, Harvick's been dominate here, I'm predicting that we just may get a really exciting race with a new winner on the podium at the end of the day. Some of you that pick those under dogs just might see your boys up front today before it is all over. Just my early morning thoughts but you know I'll still be pulling for my RCR team and will hoping for Harvick to be leading the pack at the end of the day!!!!
