Race fans didn't have much to get excited about on the track at Pocono Raceway on Sunday. Rain and foggy conditions at the track forced the postponement of the NASCAR Sprint Cup race to Monday afternoon.

But many fans who stuck out the rain, even after the race was canceled, were finding ways to entertain themselves in the infield."I ain't leaving until tomorrow. That's always the plan. I've been coming for years. I've seen lightning, thunder, winds blowing, canopies being ripped off. This is nothing, I've seen it all," Philip Morris of Berwick said.Morris and many fans kept their tents up through the persistent rainy conditions with the hope that the weather would let up long enough for a portion of the race to be completed. Excitement about the upcoming race, and relatively warm temperatures despite the rain, kept many fans at the track."I'm a racer at heart, you never give up. I'm looking at the weather report and it looks like there's a window," said Jeff Simmons of Gouldsboro.Raceway officials were still optimistic about the chances of getting the race in about an hour before the start time, especially with a big TV audience waiting at home. But ultimately they made the decision to postpone at 2 p.m.Their decision seemed to be proved right when lightning and strong winds struck the area after 4 p.m.Some fans chalked the day up to a perceived reputation that Pocono seems to get for its weather."We always hope for miracles, but we're in Pocono so we don't expect too many," said Mike Bielski of Jackson, New Jersey, who has been coming for 25 years.Simmons, who has been attending races at Pocono for decades, said that he had an argument with some fans who said that the Raceway's location makes severe weather inevitable. He pointed out that poor weather strikes NASCAR tracks across the country."I'm like - you people have forgotten that the last five straight races have been San Diego weather - picture perfect beautiful," Simmons said. "Every track gets it."Track president Brandon Igdalsky summed up the frustration of fans and officials with his tweet signing off Sunday night before he planned to head back to the track Monday morning for another go."2day wasn't as planned, but the sun'll come up tomorrow & we'll be racing. days like this are tough, enjoy tomorrow's #Axalta400," he tweeted.
