Rain once again threatening NASCAR events this weekend

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Once again, NASCAR teams expect to have to dodge raindrops during a race weekend.
The National Weather Service predicts a 60 percent chance of thunderstorms today at Bristol Motor Speedway, with that increasing to 90 percent Saturday before dropping to 20 percent Sunday.
The good news is that Bristol Motor Speedway is a .533-mile concrete oval and tends to dry fairly quickly, normally drying within 90 minutes or less. Temperatures are expected in the 60s today and Saturday and the low 50s on Sunday.
Sprint Cup practice is scheduled from noon-1:30 p.m. EDT today with qualifying at 3:40 p.m.
If qualifying is canceled because of rain, the three drivers who would miss the race would be Front Row Motorsports’ John Andretti, Gillett Evernham Motorsports’ Patrick Carpentier and Wood Brothers Racing's Jeff Green.
Nationwide teams have practices scheduled for 1:40-3:15 p.m. and 4:45-5:45 p.m. EDT. Qualifying is not scheduled until Saturday morning.
