Nashville Weekend Weather History

Nashville has had its battles with difficult weather in the past. Last year in the Xfinity Series race, multiple drivers overheated during one of the hottest races of the year. AJ Allmendinger and Ryan Vargas were the two that were shown post-race on USA.

With similar temperatures this year, the hope is that the Xfinity Series drivers and teams are well-prepared for the extreme heat they will have to handle this weekend. As for the Cup drivers, last year was not an issue of heat, but rather rain and lightning. The Cup Series saw two major delays last year due to the rain and lightning in the area.

It seems history could be set to repeat itself this weekend, but the hope is that the rain stays away. As far as the heat, the best things that teams can do is to just prepare and adapt. Fans should be on the lookout to prepare for this weather as well.
