After threatening rain and storms at Darlington Raceway Friday we see improved weather Saturday. A mix of sunshine and clouds can be expected with warm temperatures but we might see a pop up storm or two in the vicinity. Not expecting major issues but it only takes one poorly timed and located storm to cause a problem and a delay.

Odds of racing the XFINITY race: Sport Clips Haircuts VFW 200 is 90 percent.

Sunday for the NASCAR Monster Energy Bojangles’ Southern 500 the weather looks nice and warm with lots of sunshine during the day. There may be a few more clouds into the evening, but we should not have to worry about Mother Nature.

Odds of racing the Bojangles’ Southern 500 is 100 percent.
