Weather forecast<\/p>\n

There is a chance of rain throughout the weekend, which is the last thing anyone wanted to hear after all three races failed to reach their scheduled distance at Charlotte — something previously unprecedented.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is at least a 50% chance of rain all weekend, with thunderstorms passing through the region. Sunday is the best day of the weekend, with only a passing storm, while Friday is likely to feature heavy rain. It will be a warm weekend with a high of 87 degrees (Fahrenheit) on Friday, 79 on Saturday, and 81 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Who is competing in the Cracker Barrel 400?<\/p>\n

There are 36 chartered entries and two open entries. Chad Finchum will drive the No. 66 while Corey Heim is back in the No. 67 in a fourth 23XI entry. Austin Hill will continue to drive the renumbered No. 33 RCR Chevy following the death of Kyle Busch.<\/a><\/p>\n
