Will it or won’t it rain for NASCAR for the New Hampshire 301 Sprint Cup race

A threat of showers and storms remains in the New Hampshire 301 weather forecast at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, but is the threat high enough to cause problems for Sunday’s Sprint Cup race?

Rain showers worked their way into the New Hampshire 301 weather forecast at New Hampshire Motor Speedway for Sunday. The good news is that, while there is a threat, the chances are small with minimal risk to racing. While rain can’t be completely ruled out the odds of racing Sunday are pretty good — around 80 percent — that includes a complete race. I’m not going to rule out a possible delay from a storm or two moving near or over the track, however. The odds of that happening are around 20 to 25 percent; the radar will need to be watched.
