NASCAR Night race at Bristol Motor Speedway race day weather: Some rain may fall

Weather all week at Bristol Motor Speedway has had scattered showers and isolated storms. We will see more of the same for Saturday leading up to the The Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol.

It’s Bristol Baby! The Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway looks to have the same weather forecast as the rest of the week, scattered showers and storms through the day with a few lingering isolated storms as we go into the evening.

Hit-or-miss showers and storms are likely though the day Saturday and into Saturday evening. Like Friday night, a lot of these showers and storms will start to diminish as we go into the evening but a few could linger. Any lingering rain activity could cause a delay or two with the race but we should be able to get the race in Saturday night.

Racing odds for The Bass Pro Shops NRA Night Race at Bristol Motor Speedway Saturday night are between 75 to 80 percent. Like the truck and Xfinity races earlier in the week we should be able to go but I expect possible delays due to the weather.
