There wouldn't have been any point. There was heavy rain, hail & everything heading for that track. There would have been no chance to dry the track before the sun went down, assuming the weather stopped in time. NASCAR called it at the right time to give the fans & everyone else a chance to try to get out of there before it got bad.
