With that said, NASCAR simply can't race in the rain because the tires can't handle that. There are other reasons why it'd be unsafe but that's the reason why it's impossible.
Most of the time we see eye to eye...here we couldn't be any further apart. All I have to say is:

If motorcycles can race in the rain, why can't nascar?


You say it is b/c of the tire compound. So there are no other alternatives? What about the tires for F1 and Indy? Can they not use the technology from these tires? I believe Nascar drivers are a bunch of drama queens. What a shitty "sport."
