Weather

Rains in Long Pond, PA are expected to give way sometime on Friday. Clouds are expected for both the Trucks and Cup Series events with temps in the mid-70s though Pocono has a way to always seeming to bring concerns about rain.

In Iowa there is a 50% threat of rain on both Friday and Saturday with conditions not too different from Pocono.
