NASCAR RaceWeather Forecast
Forecast Discussion for NASCAR Weekend
A slow-moving frontal boundary will keep weather unsettled over this race weekend. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected across the Carolinas Saturday into Sunday; there is a marginal risk of flooding over the next few days.
The combination of humid air, daytime instability, and passing disturbances could create intermittent delays, rapidly changing track conditions, and shifting grip levels throughout the weekend.
Looking at the Saturday forecast, NASCAR and its fans are going to need to be patient. There may be some larger breaks in the morning hours, but the afternoon timing looks like we should expect delays or postponements. The Sunday forecast is a little less certain. My outlook will be “ask me tomorrow” with a big difference between model runs for rain or dry.

The complex features a 1.5 mi (2.4 km) quad oval track that hosts NASCAR racing including the prestigious Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, and the Bank of America Roval 400. The speedway was built in 1959 by Bruton Smith and is considered the home track for NASCAR with many race teams located in the Charlotte area. The track is owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports with Greg Walter as track president.

It is the only all-concrete, four-lane drag strip in the United States and hosts NHRA events. Alongside the drag strip is a state-of-the-art clay oval that hosts dirt racing including the World of Outlaws finals among other popular racing events.
