NASCAR's oval track racing is the most popular motorsport in America, but there's one thing it hasn't been able to beat: rain. While road course events can carry on in wet weather, races on ovals are often delayed from hours to days when the skies open up, due to concerns about safety in the high-speed turns. TV and travel schedules are affected at major costs to those involved and fans pay the price, too. To help address it, NASCAR held a test at Martinsville Speedway last week to see if its cars could use rain tires on the smaller ovals and the results were positive. You could still slow down good, turn good.
