Race
Following an initial start, the race came under a caution period on Lap 13 due to heavy rain. By Lap 23, the decision was made to stop the event due to worsening conditions. The rain did not relent and the race was not restarted.
Due to completing less than half of the planned 120 lap race distance, half-points were awarded in the championships. Also, since most teams did not have time to perform their required driver changes before the race was stopped, all assigned drivers were assigned points even if they never made it into the car.

Famous quotes containing the word race:
“Ought we to smile,
Perhaps make friends? No: in the race for seats
You’re best alone. Friendship is not worth while.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I would be a winner because I was a loser! That’s right. I dream of failure every night of my life, and that’s my secret. To make it in this rat race you have to dream of failing every day. I mean, that is reality.”
