NASCAR Weather Forecast Discussion
We’ll pick up this week where we left off last week. The cold front that impacted the Daytona 500 on Sunday is forecasted to turn into a stationary front & remain over the Gulf through Sunday. Looking ahead to Friday, an upper-level shortwave trough is forecasted to setup over the Western US. It is forecasted to slowly move Eastward throughout the weekend. Friday should remain clear as a surface high-pressure system sits over the Midwest.
By Saturday, the shortwave trough is forecasted to move over the Southern Plains, driving the creation of a surface low-pressure system over the Gulf. This low-pressure system will move the stationary front further North, turning it into a warm front throughout the day. This shortwave trough has slowly been getting weaker and weaker as model runs have progressed throughout the week. It has also been forecasted to move further South than previously forecasted. This should lead to no chances of rain on Saturday & Sunday!
We will continue to update the forecast throughout the week!

More about Atlanta Motor Speedway
Atlanta Motor Speedway (formerly known Atlanta International Raceway from 1960 to 1990) is a 1.54-mile entertainment facility in Hampton, Georgia, United States, 20 miles (32 km) south of Atlanta. It has annually hosted NASCAR Cup Series stock car races since its inauguration in 1960.
The venue was bought by Speedway Motorsports in 1990. In 1994, 46 condominiums were built over the northeastern side of the track. In 1997, to standardize the track with Speedway Motorsports’ other two intermediate ovals, the entire track was almost completely rebuilt. The frontstretch and backstretch were swapped, and the configuration of the track was changed from oval to quad-oval, with a new official length of 1.54-mile (2.48 km) where before it was 1.522-mile (2.449 km). The project made the track one of the fastest on the NASCAR circuit. In July 2021 NASCAR announced that the track would be reprofiled for the 2022 season to have 28 degrees (previously 24 degrees) of banking and would be narrowed from 55 to 40 feet which makes racing at the track similar to restrictor plate superspeedways. As a result, superspeedway rules are used at the track, despite being significantly shorter than Daytona or Talladega. It is now the most steeply banked mile and a half track in America. Despite the reprofiling being criticized by drivers, construction began in August 2021 and wrapped up in December 2021. The track has seating capacity of 71,000 to 125,000 people depending on the tracks configuration.
