By Larry Sullivan

DINWIDDIE, Va. - 9 a.m. Race officials have already invoked the "Schedule subject to change" caveat that appears on the official race schedules.

Mother Nature again - light rain early this morning missed most of Virginia, except for the Dinwiddie area.

Track drying has been under way since about 7 a.m. and race officials are now estimating 10 a.m. for the first pair of race cars down the track.

The weather forecast for the rest of the weekend calls for "Chamber of Commerce weather," mid-seventies and sunny.
