Mother Nature gives NASCAR a break this weekend at Richmond Raceway

After a crazy couple of weekends of snow, then rain, then rain and snow at Bristol last weekend, NASCAR finally gets a break from Mother Nature at Richmond Raceway for the Toyota Owners 400.

Just what the meteorologist ordered, lots of sunshine and clear skies heading into Saturday afternoon and evening. Nice mild temperatures in the low 60s and upper 50s for the Toyota Owners 400 Saturday night. Even winds won’t be an issue for Saturday night racing.

Odds of racing both the Toyota Owners 400 is 100 percent
