Sunday weather report
12:11 PM
Welcome to windy Michigan International Speedway, where the biggest concern might be the weather. There's a stiff, steady breeze from south to north, which may be blowing more gray, angry-looking storm clouds our way. The track is dry and there's no rain in the immediate area, but it's stormy in Indiana and Illinois.
Saw the No. 9 Dodge in the garage area before it was rolled out to the track. The guys did a great job hammering out the right real quarterpanel. Other than a few ripples on close inspection, you'd never know Kasey Kahne whacked the wall yesterday. He should be good to go.
I've heard horror stories about getting into this place, since the track is surrounded by two-lane state roads. But there are a number of secondary farm roads that criss-cross the area -- and I was able to get from Ann Arbor to the infield parking lot in no more than 45 minutes.
