we're going to be here with richard childress in a moment. guys, we're up early. we're in a garage.obody here so we're taking it upon ourselves, i just grabbed a tire. i don't know whose tire this is. i think it's the five car. it's a nice goodyear tire. i can host the show through the middle of it. these things are kind of light. there's though tread on these tires, guys, that's why if it's raining it's going to be tough because there's no grip unless it's dry and it takes a couple hours to dry this entire super speedway so we're praying to ths of adam klotz and janice dean that the rain holds off. if not, they'll postpone it to tomorrow, another time. the drivers are ready. you know how it is when you're at the races, the infield starts to wake up, people start to get going, vehicles start moving, you start to see teams walking around. we're getting that sense here at daytona. it's fun to be here. as you have seen, rachel and guy, you've got to check it out, it's americana. you stand for the anthem, flags flying, prayers before the race. so "fox & friends" always loves being here

[laughter] guy: pete, when they make this call one way or another, is this a race time decision in terms of the weather? how do they make that determination, safe versus is not in. pete: yeah, they try to get as close to race time as possible because they have the ability to dry the track really fast. they can dry that thing as long as they've got with an open stretch after it. that's what they're looking at this morning. guy: all right. rachel: pete, we're going t
