All three major NASCAR series will be in action this weekend. The Xfinity Series will head to Road American in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, and the Truck Series and Cup Series will be in Richmond, Virginia.
The forecast calls for thunderstorms to roll through Elkhart Lake on Friday, which may affect practice and qualifying times. However, on the day of the Henry 180, the weather should be clear. In Richmond, clear weather is predicted for Friday and Saturday, which is good news for the Truck Series. The Cook Out 400 is the only event on Sunday, but it may be affected by afternoon thunderstorms in the area.
