Showing how to keep a sense of humor during race rain delay
It's another crappy day, weather-wise at Pocono Raceway, where mist and fog will delay the start of the Pennsylvania 400, which was rained out on Sunday.
The race originally was scheduled for Sunday, then postponed until a rescheduled start of 11 a.m. ET Monday. It now will be delayed further as track-drying efforts continue, with Pocono Raceway tweeting that the new scheduled start time is 12:07 p.m. ET.
At least some of NASCAR's stars are keeping a sense of humor about the weather.
I can't help but think how thrilled @JeffGordonWeb must be with his decision to fill-in. #BlameItOnTheRain or we could always #BlameJJ

Because of @KalahariResorts, little man could care less if we're here all week. He absolutely loves the water park. ?
