So apparently... The City of Chicago has City Parks policy to evacuate if there is a lightning strike, it is a 90-minute delay. SO... That means triple the length of NASCAR's own 30 minute delay. With that being said, with the threat of lightning in the forecast, NASCAR made the decision to postpone remainder of the Xfinity Series The Loop 121 until 10 AM Local time/ 11 AM Eastern Time tomorrow on USA Network.
The official statement from NASCAR, “Due to the potential for continued lightning strikes and in the interest of public safety and caution, the facility needed to be evacuated. NASCAR had hoped to resume activities, but not until city officials allowed fans to return to the grandstands. The forecast for lightning extends into the next several hours, forcing NASCAR to postpone the completion of the NASCAR Xfinity Series race until tomorrow morning.” – NASCAR This decision was not made lightly by the NASCAR staff and race control. As I write this, I am sitting only 2 feet from the NASCAR communications staff and they seem about as surprised by this decision as everyone else. Both NASCAR and the City of Chicago are more concerned with the safety of the spectators than forcing the ending of the race today. By: Tom Luttermoser in Chicago

Tom Luttermoser"Being a NASCAR fan since the mid-90s, I've seen my sport go through immense changes, from Earnhardt to Gordon, Gordon to Johnson, Johnson to the "Big 3". Petty's 200 to Busch's 229*. I've seen 2 generations of racers and 4 generations of racecars. I've seen the peak of the sport, I've seen the loss of a legend. I can, in fact say.. This is the greatest time our sport has seen since its golden era and it will do nothing but grow from here. We talk about the Golden Era, The Modern Era. I think, We're entering the NEXT GEN Era."
