Although there may be spot shower or storm Friday afternoon and evening we look good for the Nationwide race tonight and the Sprint Cup race tomorrow night. Irene should have no impact on the race weekend, with the exception of those trying to get back to the Northeast on Sunday. If you want to see my thoughts on Irene you can visit my weather blog and also check out the Hurricane Irene resources at the bottom of the post.
