After a full compliment of road racing, things are much quieter this weekend as Easter is celebrated. However, unlike previous years, it is not completely quiet.
Where to Watch NASCAR This Weekend

The weather forecast looks good for Sunday with partly cloudy skies and a high of 76 degrees. However, since this is a night race, the temperatures will drop through the 60s. If you’re going, bring a sweater for the later portions of the race.
