Breaking down the weather forecast for Wurth 400 at Dover Motor Speedway

NASCAR will be in Dover, Delaware this weekend and it could be a wet one at the Monster Mile. Rain is in the forecast all weekend, which could lead to some delays on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

The Xfinity Series opens the weekend on Friday with practice and qualifying for the A-GAME 200. The race airs Saturday afternoon. The Cup Series runs practice and qualifying on Saturday for the Günch 400, and then races on Sunday afternoon.

Friday has a strong mix of wind and rain in the afternoon. Odds seem pretty decent qualifying ends up getting canceled. Rain is in Saturday’s forecast, a couple percentage points higher than Friday, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see that qualifying get washed out as well. If that does happen, the circuits would turn to the rule book for settling the starting lineups. They use a performance-metric formula that factors in driver and owner results for the last race and for the season.
