Ok NASCAR fans - here's your forecast of all the festivities surrounding the Daytona 500!
 
Gatorade Duel 1 & 2 - Thursday afternoon starting at 2 p.m. ET on SPEED.  It's going to be mostly sunny on Thursday, but it will be chilly (for Florida)!  The temperature at 2 p.m. will be around 56 degrees.  It will be breezy with a chilly northwest wind, 5 - 15 mph.
 
*Friday Update:  Camping World Truck Series - Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. ET on SPEED.  A low pressure system is passing through the southeastern portion of the country, and unfortunately that means it's raining in Daytona.  Rain will continue into the evening (possibly heavy at times) and taper off as the night goes on... just keep an eye on the radar.  Be prepared for gusty winds.  It will be another chilly day with a high only in the mid 50's.  At the start of the race, expect a chilly temperature near 48 degrees.
 
Nationwide Series - Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN.  Saturday looks good behind the low pressure system.  Temperatures will be slightly more mild as clouds decrease.  At the start of the race, expect a temperature around 56 degrees.  It will also be a little breezy with a northwest wind, 10 - 15 mph.
 
Sprint Cup - Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. ET on FOX.  Conditions look wonderful for racing on Sunday thanks to high pressure building in!  The winds will be light, and the temperature at race time will be a very pleasant 62 degrees.
