With the raining yesterday and the track becoming tricky from the cold, the call was made to run the rest of the semis and all the finals today. The crew is still drying the track and will be done around 10:30. Everyone will have the ability to make one test hit but must have their cars turned around within 30 minutes of the last test hit.
