Elton Sawyer believes NASCAR made the right call by not calling the Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway despite severe weather in the area. NASCAR’s vice president of competition spoke to reporters after the race and explained why they continued the race after a long weather delay. “We work closely with the National Weather folks as well as the folks here at Speedway Motorsports. All of those weather conditions were way south of the speedway,” Sawyer said, per Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports. “We felt like we were in a good place. Once the rain passed, it looked like we had clear skies ...

NASCAR had an eventful day at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sunday, with the race temporarily interrupted by rain. When racing resumed, drivers had to switch to wet weather tires, as mandated by NASCAR. The innovation is somewhat new in the sport and, as a result, the operation was a little disjointed. NASCAR was making all the calls on tires, rather than individual racing teams. That made for a chaotic day for drivers, who could relay information about their tires even though they weren’t necessarily free to change tires. The governing body explained after the race that the goal is to e...

While speaking to Bob Pockrass of Fox Sports, McDowell revaled what he told Blaney after the race. “I was in a do-or-die situation and I had to go for it,” McDowell said. “I know it was a low-percentage move, but I had to try. All the guys that went to the bottom, and one and two on those restarts got freight trained, so I knew I needed to enter in the middle. I just got the left sides on the wet paint and it just kind of took off...

NASCAR had an adventurous weekend, one that ran about six hours long for the Cup Series race on Sunday thanks to the presence of some pretty serious weather. Needless to say the sport’s reasonably new wet weather tires were a big topic of discussion. The organization made the call to break out the wet weather tires with about 82 laps to go following a significant halt for rain. It was a move that Elton Sawyer, the senior vice president of competition for NASCAR, said ultimately saved the race. Had wet weather tires not been available, the race would have been called with 82 laps to go. So over...
