Breaking down the weather forecast for Goodyear 400 at Darlington Raceway

NASCAR is headed to South Carolina this weekend for three days of events at Darlington Raceway. The Truck, Xfinity, and Cup Series are all running the same weekend for the first time since mid-April. The Truck Series runs the Buckle Up South Carolina 200 on Friday, the Xfinity Series runs the Shriners Children’s 200 on Saturday, and the Cup Series runs the Goodyear 400 on Sunday.

The weather is looking nice for Friday and Saturday, with rain unlikely either day. However, Sunday will see some thunderstorms off and on during the day. It could impact the race Sunday afternoon, but ahead of that, everything else should not see a weather delay.
