While the 2016 NASCAR season wasn’t a particularly wet one compared to previous seasons, there were a few rainouts this year. As NASCAR heads into its final race weekend of the season at Homestead-Miami Speedway, the good news is that Mother Nature has decided to play nice.
NASCAR closes out the 2016 season with a winning forecast
The 2016 NASCAR season comes to an end at the Homestead-Miami speedway, and while we will be crowning champions, weather will not be playing a role in the outcome.
High pressure over the Gulf of Mexico will make it a dry weekend in South Florida. While there will be a few clouds from time to time with some breezy conditions on Friday and again on Sunday, there are no major weather concerns for the final races of the season — for the Trucks, Xfinity, and Sprint Cup Series races.
