By Jared Turner This Might Be The Rainiest Season Ever How shocking was it that rain played such a factor in Sunday’s race at Phoenix International Raceway, a desert track located in one of the driest areas of the country? It seems that no matter where the Sprint Cup Series has gone this year, wet weather has inevitably followed. Sunday’s situation might have been the most frustrating to date, however, as initial forecasts for dry weather proved erroneous when rain pushed back the start of the race by more than six hours.

By Jerry Bonkowski Next to the Golden Rule (do unto others as you would like them to do unto you), we’re supposed to learn from our mistakes. By doing so, we’ll become better people – and hopefully not make the same mistake again. Joey Logano might be able to relate to that.

Now, Logano absolutely has to…
