Rain will be an issue again this weekend: The Richmond area forecast looks rainy for Saturday afternoon and evening into Sunday. According to the National Weather Service, there is an 80% chance of rain Saturday and a 60% chance on Sunday, until around 2:00pm/et. After that, the weather clears up. According to @NASCAR_WXMAN and his forecast at SB Nation, "I hate to say it, but it looks like the NASCAR Toyota Owners 400 Sprint Cup race at Richmond International Raceway Saturday night is going to be a washout. All of the forecast data I use is saying the same thing. Rain arriving between 1 and 3:00pm/etT and continuing through the afternoon and evening. By 9:00pm/et, the rain starts to break up some but not enough to get a full or even half a race complete. Professionally speaking, I would be very surprised if we see any racing Saturday night. With all the forecast data basically saying the same thing, the odds of racing Saturday night look to be less than 10 percent.
"Start time moved up: Due to rain at the track, NASCAR has moved up the scheduled start of tonight's race to 7:50pm/et. The rest of the pre-race ceremonies will also start 10 minutes earlier than originally scheduled. However, the forecast still doesn't look good to get racing in tonight.(4-25-2015)
