Tough times make even the biggest cynic a believer. While this has been heard for spiritual context before, who knew that this would be true for racing too? The weather abruptly interrupted the Atlanta race on Saturday. It had also stopped the Chicago Street race the week before. Many drivers and fans have come out loud with their opinions about NASCAR’s decision to shorten the race. While some came in support as well, RFK’s driver Brad Keselowski, after finishing 6th was seen supporting an old theory about NASCAR’s race day rains. 

Keselowski, who is seen making bold comments on NASCAR in the past was pretty disheartened by the result of the race. Grief and disappointment can lead people to do a lot of things, and Keselowski is no exception. According to a tweet posted by him, he is now in support of a racing theory that some fans had conjured as a possible reason for the occurrence of turbulent weather during every single race. 

Brad Keselowski now supports the vortex theory for one-after-the-other NASCAR rains

With the onset of rain during every race, people have set out on a mission to find any possible explanation behind it. One such explanation is the vortex theory. Some fans believe that the pour starting right during stage break when the cars had paused taking laps is not a coincidence. The weather picked up pace only when the cars stopped circling the field and then caused heavy precipitation during the actual race. This theory posted by a fan on NASCAR’s Reddit community seems to have appealed to the No. 6 Ford Mustang driver quite a bit, as he tweeted:

“Hear me out, I once too was not a believer. In 13 years of cup racing, this has played out countless times. Too many times to be dismissed, Idk how or why it seems to work.” 

Fans came out in large numbers to provide solutions for the rain problem, suggesting the removal of stage breaks during NASCAR races. While one suggested making the field comprise more than 60 cars in order to create a strong vortex that will expel the drizzle and storms from the track area.

As Keselowski tried to generate curiosity among the tweeps, he continued writing: “We need a serious MythBusters episode on The Vortex Theory”.

According to the theory, if a dozen cars raced at speed around a circular track, it would be able to ward off turbulent weather from the area of the track. While there is no scientific backing for this statement, it has definitely earned Keselowski’s support. While fans support Brad Keselowski. The consecutive stopping of races due to poor weather has fans supporting Darrell Waltrip and acknowledging that he was right.

Amidst Keselowski cementing his belief in the theory, fans were seen citing ideas to further help the cause.

“I was in the stands for ’20 Fontana. Legit mist was falling during the pace laps, and there was an ominous cloud beyond the backstretch coming down from the mountains. Once they got green, the mist stopped, the clouds never advanced, and eventually the sun came out,” tweeted one of the fans.

It’s baffling how many fans are in support of this theory.  Another fan wrote: “I’ve watched it so many times play out this way. Caution comes out and rain starts.  There has to be something to DWs theory. #vortextheory.”

Further, fans have come forth with solutions that might prevent stopping the race for rain. “Or, just a thought, throw a roof over the track to keep it from getting wet. Like a stadium with a retractable roof to close when weather is coming. Also, to decrease the noise level due to the enclosed environment, add mufflers to the cars,” said another NASCAR fanatic.

It seems like, the NASCAR community just want to find out ways in which the rain-shortened races can be avoided. But is that even possible?
