The thing is that all the attendees have purchased the tickets. It will be a problem if they need to postpone the event. Some flights might be canceled or modified. Some folks might even refund the tickets. However, the organizers are looking for the chances that they can conduct the race event on Sunday.

If it is not raining and time to run, the Indy 500 folks will go straight to the track.
