If it rains out - 2007/08/20 16:41
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the series would work to get the race in this week -- perhaps going even as late as Wednesday if necessary -- to avoid returning to Michigan later in the year. If more rain were to force the event to be pushed back until later in the season, it would alter the entire dynamic of the Chase.
The Chase participants, Poston said, are decided by rule after the season's 26th event. If weather precludes the Michigan race from being run this week, it would be rescheduled for the weekend after Thanksgiving. That would mean the Chase drivers would be decided not Sept. 8 at Richmond, but Sept. 16 at New Hampshire. And the championship would be decided not at Homestead on Nov. 18, but the next weekend back in Michigan.

The Nation needs this race to be run this week. Junior is much better at Michigan than he is at Loudon and by moving Michigan to the end it would severly criple Dale's Chase hopes. On the brighter side if it is postponed till the end of the year and he makes the Chase Michigan is a much better place for him to finish than Homestead, one of his worst tracks in recent years. R8
