Bristol Motor Speedway Weather Forecast: Threat of Showers Greatly Diminished

As of 8am EDT - With the exception of just a few showers passing by the track this morning, the good news the rain threat has greatly diminished, there is still a threat for an isolated shower popping up especially on Sunday but with the mountains around Bristol Motor Speedway I am confident we will be mainly dry for the on track activities and races this weekend.

If you’re going to the race today or tomorrow it may not be a bad idea to have the gear handy but if I was a betting man you probably won’t need it. It’s just better to be safe than sorry.
