Friday’s ARCA Menards Series at Kansas Speedway could be dealing with storms, especially during the afternoon and evening window. The O’Reilly Auto Parts Series practice and qualifying sessions fall in that same timeframe and could also be impacted by developing storms.
Race weekend conditions improve significantly after Friday, with cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and dry weather expected for both Saturday and Sunday providing solid conditions for fans and on-track action. The ARCA Menards Series and O’Reilly Auto Parts Series races on Saturday, along with the NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, all look to be in good shape. We’ll continue to monitor the latest models
