SATURDAY on the Texas Motor Speedway turned into a huge letdown, with rain washing out two cup?practices and the O’Reilly Auto parts 300 Nationwide Series race, they can only hope that Sunday does not?suffer a similar fate. The Cup race, the Samsung Mobile 500 happens today and the rescheduled Nationwide?Series takes place today too.
It is the first time in the Texas Motor Speedway history that the Sprint Cup as well as the nationwide races takes place on same day. Last day's rain pushed the start of the race to 8:00pm Sunday, after regularly scheduled Samsung Mobile 500 (starts at 2:00pm).
Texas Motor Speedway Weather:This weekends NASCAR race, the Samsung Mobile 500, is set to start today at 3:00pm ET at the Texas Motor Speedway.This weekend's weather in Forth Worth, Texas has hampered the race schedule. Last nights Nationwide Series race along with Sprint Cup Series training runs had to be canceled due to rain. Today's forecast also shows rain as a possibility.
. This is Stewart's first pole as an owner/driver of the Stewart-Haas racing team also. The big news today will be how the cars perform with the new "blade" rear spoiler as the two practice sessions were canceled yesterday due to the rain. This new spoiler will be the unknown today and could cause a lot of drivers problems due to the lack of track time with the new configuration. So, if the weather permits, NASCAR will have a full day today at the Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway.
“I was really frustrated with the car,” Earnhardt said. “It still frustrates me, but if I think back, the old one did too at times. It was just so nice to have all that downforce, that’s really the only thing that I think is kind of lacking now, but I think the (car’s) balance is getting better with spoiler versus the wing.”
