NASCAR <\/a>has announced that today’s Cup Series action at Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been canceled due to the weather. <\/p>\n

\nHowever, ahead of the session, the weather intervened, with lightning first putting the session on hold before NASCAR officially confirmed 45 minutes later that Friday’s running had been canceled for good. <\/p>\n

\nThe Cup Series drivers will now head into Saturday’s qualifying session with no practice time on the track, unless NASCAR decides to change the schedule ahead of tomorrow. <\/p>\n

\nUPDATE: NASCAR has confirmed that a combined 25-minute practice session will take place on Saturday at 2pm ET right before qualifying at 2:40 pm ET. <\/p>\n

NASCAR weather forecast for Indianapolis<\/p>\n

\nUnfortunately, it looks as though there could be yet be further action disrupted by rain this weekend, with the forecast for Saturday and Sunday not looking bright. <\/p>\n

\nAt the time of Cup Series qualifying on Saturday, for example, there is a 40% chance of rain at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. <\/p>\n

\nThis threat persists between 35-40% into the early evening, and from 5pm, the chances of rain increase to 64%, with thunderstorms also predicted in the area at that time. <\/p>\n

\nXfinity Series race action is scheduled to get underway at 4:30 pm ET, so it could be affected. <\/p>\n

\nUnfortunately, the threat of thunderstorms and rain persists on Sunday, when the Cup Series race is set to get underway at 2pm ET. <\/p>\n

\nHowever, in the build-up to that, there is a decent chance of rain throughout the day, with the chance of precipitation standing at 51% around the time of the race start. <\/p>\n

\nThis threat persists over the next few hours, although it does gradually drop down to 32% by 6pm ET. <\/p>\n

\nWith plenty of possible rain to come, it could be a long weekend at the Brickyard. <\/p>\n
