Tomorrow Never Knows

Who knows what tomorrow will bring? In a less philosophical sense what tomorrow will bring at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is up in the air specifically because of the weather. Some forecasters are predicting a near one hundred percent chance of rain for tomorrow as the advance team from Hurricane Ike roll into town to spread the misery.

There was talk late tonight at the Speedway that tomorrow's program may be modified in terms of the schedule--in that if a window of clear weather develops at some point, DORNA may mandate that the MotoGP race be run immediately. Could this happen mid-morning or at anytime earlier than the scheduled start time of 3:00 PM? Some feel that is a strong possibility but no one would say so on the record.

Nick Hayden, Valentino Rossi and others say that racing in more rain than was seen on Friday at IMS is impossible, as one side of the track doesn't dry as well as the other.

would this affect the broadcast time?

Nope, the 3pm broadcast is live. Well, if the race gets run at its scheduled time.

If the race does run early... to be broadcast later.

Please don't spoil the race by posting winners, crashers, or anything else until it it televised.

I'll be watching it from the same time zone as it's being run.

I couldn't find any listing, anyone know what channel it will be aired on or did I already miss it.
I only saw the listing for supermoto.
