Wow, did NASCAR ever make the right decision in postponing Saturday's race at Charlotte.
About two hours before scheduled start time, showers and wind continued in the area around Charlotte Motor Speedway. Like many areas along the Atlantic coast, the track in Concord, N.C., was buffeted by inclement weather caused by Hurricane Matthew.
The one obvious conclusion by anyone who stuck a head outside: This was no weather for stock car racing. Even if an hour later the sun was shining.
It also was a good decision because of its impact on fans. Travel became sketchy, if not treacherous, because of standing water, trees and limbs knocked down by wind and other hazards.
