North Wilkesboro Weather Update: NASCAR’s Moonshine Capital Goes Under Water as Massive Floods Wreak Havoc on Truck Ambitions

NASCAR has not been able to catch a break from bad weather since the start of the 2024 season. The Busch Light Clash was affected by the rain, the Daytona 500 had to be postponed, and now it looks like the All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway might suffer a similar fate.

The weather just has been cruel the entire week, and is not showing signs of slowing down. It is raining cats and dogs at the racetrack, so much so that the entire pit area is flooded with water. The water level rose to alarming heights in the pits, which forced the crews to get their trucks away from the water to avoid any damage.

In an official announcement, the North Wilkesboro Speedway stated that today’s Wright Band 250 Truck Series race has been postponed to 11:30 a.m. ET Sunday. Meanwhile, the All-Star Heat races have been canceled. This means that Joey Logano, who topped the All-Star qualifying event earlier today, will sit on the pole for the All-Star Race. Brad Keselowski who finished second in the qualifiers will join Logano at the front row.

OFFICIAL: Trucks will resume tomorrow at 11:30a ET on FS1.
