What they're saying

"
The presentation faced a few challenges with its broadcast window on FOX as a push to start early due to inbound showers and a lingering UFL game meant the race started on FOX Sports 1 and shifted to the main network where an extended event of its own, complete with two rain delays, made for a long night of viewing.
