NORTH WILKESBORO RACE WEEKEND HUB

Saturday will feature increasing afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms as a cold front approaches the region. Some storms could become strong to severe, with damaging wind gusts being the primary threat. While not everyone will see severe weather, all fans should remain weather aware throughout the day. 

The front is expected to linger near the region on Sunday, keeping scattered showers and thunderstorms in the forecast. Some storms could produce heavy rainfall, which may lead to localized flooding where storms repeatedly move over the same areas. At this time, Sunday does not appear to be a complete washout, but periods of rain and weather related delays are certainly possible. 

If you’re camping, tailgating, or attending the race weekend, have multiple ways to receive weather alerts and be ready to move to sturdy shelter if thunderstorms approach. Secure tents, canopies, and other loose items, as strong wind gusts can arrive quickly with any storm. North Wilkesboro Speedway has lights, so if weather causes delays, there is still a good opportunity for on-track activities to resume once conditions improve.
