Sat, 9 Oct 1999, 12:00 PM MEMPHIS - Drying Process is Slow Goingf

By Larry Sullivan

MILLINGTON, Tenn. - 11:00 AM - The 12th annual AutoZone Nationals presented by Pennzoil are still in a holding pattern here at Memphis Motorsports Park. Track drying is going very slowly because the air is extremely humid and a light mist keeps recoating the track surface. The mist is too light to show on the doppler weather radar pictures, which already show us as "in the clear."

The moisture is slowly moving to the northeast, so we probably will be able to resume racing this afternoon. Exactly when this afternoon is anyone's guess.

We'll let you know when the cars are called to the lanes.
