It looks like they've got the BoP tuned in pretty well.

Driver "reliability" too. Let's hope they all have their best Hot Shoes on.

No short sleeve shirts up here today. " Spring", what is that?

Go Ford!!!

Those Vette drivers are good.

Quite the save to miss that Lamborghini in the rain and spin it before the wall.

Good race until the flood I'm afraid.

Müeller in the #66 into the tire wall in the rain. Looked like it was fairly low speed but it's gonna be injured.

The view out the rear of the car that was behind him:

Last time it rained on race day in Sebring was 18 years ago. Crazy.

Dirk Müeller treated and released from infield medical center. Says it didn't feel that hard because of the tires.

Looks like it might be able to be fixed, but no repairs until red flag is over.

So what are the rules? Can they repair and reenter the race? It would seem they would not finish in the running if so but is that better than a DNF?
