NASCAR in the rain?

Mother nature must have a sense of humor.

After last week's tire fiasco at Indianapolis NASCAR's Nationwide Series made history at the historic Circuit Gilles Villeneuve by racing for the first time under wet conditions with specially designed rain tires.

It was certainly an interesting attempt by NASCAR to bring something different into the sport and I give them credit for making every effort to run the race despite the awful conditions. But eventually the rain just became way too much. Jacques Villeneuve and Joey Logano both ended up crashing under caution while running up front. That, along with the heavy down poor and standing water on the track, convinced NASCAR to call the race early, handing the win to road-racer (and Canada native) Ron Fellows.

It was another disappointing day for one Marcos Ambrose, who looked like he had the car to beat until a miscommunication on pit road dropped Ambrose back to third. I really feel like Ambrose is bound to win one of these races sooner or later, its just a question of when.
