Some teams practiced with race setups knowing the rain chances. The Nationwide race is set to start at 2:30 PM local time. Sunday will be interesting. The green flag is currently set to 12:20 PM, so the chance of rain will be slim during the race, which should end before 4 PM. However, any early rainstorm will create issues all day Sunday into the night and we may see a rain-delayed race both days.
