The NASCAR Cup Series hits Atlanta Motor Speedway this Sunday for the Ambetter Health 400, which is unlikely to be hit with the same weather delays as last weekend's Daytona 500.
Last weekend's Great American Race was halted for hours due to rain, with William Byron battling through a chaotic end to secure his second straight victory at the historic race.

Ambetter Health 400 weather forecast
Saturday 22nd February
With no practice session on Friday, running for the Cup Series race will start on Saturday morning.
That qualifying session will kick off at 11:05am ET in mild weather, with highs in the mid 50s and a RealFeel a few degrees higher.
That qualifying session will be followed by the Truck Series Fr8 208 at 1:30pm ET, before the Bennett Transportation and Logistics 250 at 5pm ET, all with dry and mild weather conditions.
Sunday 23rd February
The forecast for race day is near identical to the day before, with highs in the mid-high 50s and a 0% chance of any precipitation.
The wind is also unlikely to be a factor, simply blowing a light breeze across the track at speeds which shouldn't make any difference to car performance. All in all, set fair for a perfect Sunday at the race track.
