Rain Falling In Phoenix

As of 12:30 AM ET, the rain has begun to fall again here at Phoenix International Raceway. Depending on which weather forecaster you trust, it could be a long afternoon here in the not-so-aptly named "Valley of the Sun." Scattered showers are expected to continue to pass through the area for the next few hours, possibly delaying the start of today's "Kobalt Tools 500;" scheduled to take the green flag at 3:18 PM ET.

If necessary (and we hope it's NOT), PIR is equipped with lights.
