Our experts weigh in on four of the biggest questions in NASCAR.Turn 1: The Xfinity race run in the rain at Mid-Ohio has generated polarizing opinions. Was it a good show?Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: From a fans perspective, yes -- entertaining for sure. From a paying customers perspective, having to sit in those conditions -- no. Its just not sustainable! It just doesnt give people the experience they paid for in terms of planning vacation, booking travel and reserving a hotel. Im not saying we shouldnt ever do it again, but there is obvious room for improvement.Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: It was a show. Was it a good show? Yes, because I like NASCAR to run the occasional race in the rain to quiet down the cries that there should be more racing in the rain. In the end, we had a nice battle between two good guys, and we had the best possible result when it came to honoring Bryan Clauson. So ... I dont want to see that every weekend, but yeah, good show!John Oreovicz, ESPN.com: It was mostly entertaining but sometimes embarrassing. I love the idea of racing in the rain when possible, but at times, the lack of traction from the rain tires made some pretty decent drivers look silly. At its best, racing in the rain showcases a drivers car control and judgment -- the late Mark Donohue used to call it The Great Equalizer. At its worst, it creates confusion and calamity. Mid-Ohio fell somewhere in between, but no one can dispute that Justin Marks did a great job and deserved to win.Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: Not in my book. That doesnt mean others didnt find it entertaining nor that the decision to race in the rain is the wrong one; it just wasnt fun throughout to watch. It was like going to a Patriots game to watch Tom Brady only for it to rain or snow, limiting his passing -- its still football but not what you had hoped to see. That being said, it was better than a Cup driver runaway win in an Xfinity race.Turn 2: Arguably the biggest short-track race of the season is this weekend at Bristol. Of road courses, plate races, short tracks and intermediates, what style of NASCAR racing do you enjoy the most?Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: I enjoy tracks that perform like short tracks, meaning road courses. Any track that requires heavy braking typically creates more action. I think this is becoming more evident in our sport.Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: To me, plate racing and road courses will always be appointment TV viewing. Those are the six races that you simply cannot get up to walk away from. No naps, no mowing the lawn, every lap means a chance for something crazy to happen. But when it comes to watching an event in person, short tracks win. You can see everything ... and theres a lot to see.John Oreovicz, ESPN.com:?Im on record as a road racing guy, yet I think of NASCAR as oval racing. But my favorite NASCAR racing doesnt happen on any of those categories of oval; I like the tracks kind of in between short tracks and intermediates -- ovals of a mile and a little more, like Darlington and Dover -- those high-speed tracks with a bit of character that the cookie-cutter 1.5-milers cant muster. Though its a short track, Id love to see a Cup race at Iowa Speedway because I think it would be a tremendous show.Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: Short tracks, if you include anything under 1.5 miles. Those races are the ones where drivers with better cars often can make the pass, but they probably have to work to make that pass for at least a few laps.Turn 3: Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch and Kyle Busch each have five career Sprint Cup wins at Bristol. Who has the best shot to win a sixth this weekend?Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: Kyle Busch is not only the premier pick from the three -- he is a favorite across the board. He will have his hands full with Joey Logano, Brad Keselowski and perhaps Kurt Busch. Im eager to see how Jeff handles the physical demands of Bristol -- it never pays to bet against him, so I wont -- but I struggle to see him setting the pace here the way he once did.Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: Kyle Busch. Strictly statistically speaking, over the last 10 races Gordon has the better numbers, but of the three its pretty clear who is in best position to win races right now.John Oreovicz, ESPN.com: With all due respect to Gordon, its got to be one of the Busch brothers. The coin flip says ... Kurt Busch!Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: Kyle Busch is ticked off with the way the current Bristol races and Gordons team, like all of Hendrick, is, well, a tick off. That leaves Kurt Busch atop the list.Turn 4: Which Virginia team has a better chance of pulling off the upset at Bristol over the next month? The Wood Brothers (well consider them Virginia even though they now have a Carolina base) with driver Ryan Blaney this weekend or Virginia Tech football against Tennessee next month?Ricky Craven, ESPN NASCAR analyst: The Wood Brothers winning would be a tremendous story. Im voting with my heart -- 21 car over Virginia Tech.Ryan McGee, ESPN.com: Blaney. Hes won there in Xfinity and finished 11th there back in March. Last I looked the Hokies were an 11-point underdog and I think that might not be enough. Im super reluctant to totally buy into the Tennessee hype, but Tech has a new head coach and a lot of work to do. On the bright side, have you seen the awesome Virginia Tech paint scheme that Blaney will be running at Bristol? So if he wins, Hokie Nation wins!John Oreovicz, ESPN.com: Well, its been about 20 years since I last followed college football, so the VT-UT game is another coin flip. A Blaney/Wood Brothers win would be a bigger upset and I know its the one Id like to see -- it would certainly shake up the race for the Chase just like a major upset in NCAA football would throw a wrench into the BCS standings.Bob Pockrass, ESPN.com: The Hokies. Sorry, Blaney. But the Hokies only have to upset one team. Blaney would have to beat several favorites to earn his first Cup win. Langston Galloway Jersey . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Kevin Knox Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. https://www.cheapknicks.com/231x-cazzie-russell-jersey-knicks.html . On June 12, just as the sun sets on the magnificent historical city of Sao Paulo the inventors, innovators and purveyors of “joga bonitowill” open their campaign. The opponent, Croatia and all its football might and will. As opposites do attract we are set for a corker of an opener. Rod Strickland Jersey . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. Nathaniel Clifton Jersey . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. CLEVELAND -- Major League Baseball is hoping it can play Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night despite the rain.MLB senior vice president Peter Woodfork said officials were prepared to have the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians play through light rain.If its light and ... we dont think its going to get any heavier, I think wed be apt to play in that, he said about 2 1/2 hours before the scheduled 7:08 p.m. start. The fields in good condition. The tarps been on. The outfield can take a lot of water.Woodfork said Commissioner Rob Manfred will examine the situation at about 6:15 p.m., in time to notify teams whether to have their starting pitchers start to warm up.MLB on Tuesday moved up Wednesdays start by an hour to 7:08 p.m., and light rain started to fall at about noon.Accuweather said that if rain tracks to the north, there will be a spot shower or two during the game, but that if rain remains over the area, it could be steady and cause delays.Right now we have a light rain, light drizzle, spitting out probably until about 10, Woodfork explained. That being said, its probably come a little heavier than we expected already. So, were confident, but things can change, and well have to read and adjust.While regular-season games can be shortened because of bad weather as long as the losing team has completed at least five innings, a rules change approved in 2009 mandates that all postseasonn games and regular-season tiebreakers must be played to conclusion at the ballpark where they began.ddddddddddddThe change came a few months after Game 5 of the 2008 World Series, which became the first World Series game to be suspended with the score tied at 2 in the sixth after a steady rain turned the field into a soggy mess. The game resumed two days later, with the Phillies edging Tampa Bay 4-3 to clinch the title.Cubs manager Joe Maddon, who managed the Rays in 2008, remembers the game being very awkward to play.The rain was horizontal, Maddon said a few hours before Game 2. It was freezing. There was actually standing water on the field. They wouldnt even call an infield fly rule because the wind was blowing so much. It was really an abnormally difficult night to play baseball.Thursday is a scheduled off day before the Series is set to resume at Chicagos Wrigley Field, which last hosted the Series in 1945.We want to do all we can to avoid breaking the game up. That being said, you cant control the weather, Woodfork said. I think they understand here in Cleveland that the weather can be a little dicey, so if something happens and they need to come back tomorrow, again, thats unfortunate, we dont want that to happen, but realistically we cant control the weather.
