Bristol Motor Speedway NASCAR Weather Forecast: Truck Race Tonight, Irene Not a Worry this Weekend

The forecast is a dry one for Bristol. The only threat of rain appears to be Thursday when there are no scheduled activities for the Nationwide or Sprint Cup cars. Other than that threat Friday and Saturday look dry with clouds and sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 80s.

I have received a lot of questions this week about the Bristol forecast because of the concern of Hurricane Irene. I wouldn’t worry about Irene. I don’t see or expect the hurricane to cause any problems for NASCAR this weekend. If you want more of my thoughts on Hurricane Irene check out my main weather page.
