- After more rain on Tuesday, NASCAR is going to try once again to finish up in Texas. Coverage will air live on NBCSN starting at 3 p.m. The forecast is warmer and drier than the past two days. That said, the forecast high temperature is 51
degrees. That's 25 degrees below normal for this time of year for the Fort Worth area. However, it's not going to be dry today. Don't be surprised if the track isn't ready to go when the NBCSN broadcast begins.
Also, don't forget to follow our Twitter page, @Frontstretch as well for updates from
