Ladies’ golf stepping on IndyCar coverage. on CNBC now, but it looks like the kids are afraid of getting wet….
Race under a lightning delay. I gather the "shelter in place" has been lifted, but they have to get everyone back into the stands. Coverage now on CNBC during the delay. I'd forgotten how spectacular southern t-storms could get. I just hope they get started before all those storms get here (90 miles east) and screw up my satellite reception.

Nashville has a history of ground strikes by lighting. I think they were worried about the temporary grandstands. Sounds like they're shifting coverage back to NBC.
