NASCAR At Bristol 2012: Weather Forecast And Weekend Schedule

NASCAR returns to Bristol this weekend, and it appears Mother Nature will be playing nice for a change. The weather looks nice and mostly dry for tonight’s Nationwide Series race and Saturday night’s Sprint Cup Series race.

There is just a small chance of an isolated storm later this afternoon and Saturday afternoon, but I don’t see this as a concern. Overall, the forecast is mostly dry, mostly sunny with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 80s.
