BMWracer, qualifying in wet-dry-wet conditions that the track had saturday is a totally different story than racing in the rain. What are the drivers suppose to do? Some areas of the track looked dry but were slick due to moisture. I could easily see quite a few drivers tearing up expensive equipment because they were trying to eek out as much speed as they could and then hitting a wet part of the track that they could not visibly see. NASCAR punted on Friday in hopes that the qualifying could be done all on Saturday. I think they made the right decision. Also rain tires blister badly unless they are raced in wet conditions. I don't view the NASCAR drivers as pansies for not desiring to qualify in those conditions.
