Weather Guard Truck Race 2025
The Weather Guard Truck Race, a highlight of Bristol's Spring NASCAR Spring Weekend, promises to keep you on the edge of your seat!
The Weather Guard Truck Race is a part of the epic spring tripleheader, which also features the SciAps 300 NASCAR Xfinity Series race on Saturday, April 12, and the Food City 500 NASCAR Cup Series race on Sunday, April 13.
The event, which first took place in 2021, was initially called the Pinty's Dirt Truck Race. It was significant because it was held on Bristol's dirt track, marking the return of dirt racing to NASCAR's national series for the first time since 1970. In 2024, Bristol returned to concrete racing for the Truck Series to make the Weather Guard Truck Race a traditional paved short-track event once again.
This race is scheduled to start at 7:00 pm on April 11, 2025, at the Bristol Motor Speedway, often referred to as the Last Great Colosseum. See you there!
What to Expect When Attending Weather Guard Truck Race 2025
This event, part of the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, takes place on Bristol's legendary half-mile, high-banked oval, known for producing some of the most intense racing in the sport. The truck series features younger drivers looking to make a name for themselves alongside experienced veterans, so expect tight battles, aggressive driving, and high-energy finishes. The unique short-track setting ensures no lap is without action, with plenty of bump-and-run moves, side-by-side racing, and late-race drama.
The event is held at night, under bright lights, and the stadium-like seating provides fans with unmatched views of the entire track.
There will be plenty of opportunities for driver meet-and-greets, autograph sessions, and interactive displays from sponsors, including the Weather Guard. You can also explore the infield fan zone, which features food vendors, merchandise stands, and entertainment leading up to the race.
Historical climate data for Bristol in April indicate average daily highs from 63 F to 71 F (17 C to 22 C) and lows from 43 F to 50 F (6 C to 10 C). The Farmer's Almanac forecasts a "Thunder and Zing" spring for 2025, suggesting warm, thundery weather in the South and a possible late-winter storm in the Southeast in early April. Bring layers for cooler evenings, and don't forget rain gear!
