NASCAR Darlington Raceway 2014 weather forecast: No Rain!

Out of seven race weekends only two have been rain free. Could the track that’s “Too Tough to Tame” Darlington Raceway be “too tough” for Mother Nature?

The track on the NASCAR circuit that’s known for being “Too Tough to Tame” Darlington Raceway may actually be too tough for even Mother Nature. Of the last seven races, only two race weekends have been totally rain free, Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Auto Club Speedway. Last weekend, at Texas Motor Speedway, was the first time this season a Sprint Cup race had to be postponed to a Monday. After all the weather drama this 2014 NASCAR season it appears we get a much needed break from the rain at Darlington.

Highs pressure will build over the Southeastern part of the United States for the end of the week and into the weekend. This will bring lots of sunshine and blue skies during the day and fair clear skies during the night. Temperatures will be pleasantly warm and actually get warmer as we head into Saturday where the high temperatures will reach the low 80s. Your detailed weather forecast for both the NASCAR Nationwide and Sprint Cup races can be found below.
