Respect for NASCAR

So they were supposed to race the Coca-Cola 600 yesterday, but got rain-delayed until today. Race starts up at noon eastern, at 3pm they brought all the cars to a halt on the straightaway at lap 165 of 400. All drivers shut off the engines, all the pit crews came out into the pit road for a shoulder-to-shoulder lineup, the track lowered all the flags to half-staff, all the audience got to their feet, and the entire race stopped and held a full minute of silence.

Did I mention they didn't even know they were doing anything until 10pm yesterday, and arranged this whole idea overnight?

Happy Memorial Day, everyone.
