Once again, the weather made a complete mess of things for the NASCAR Cup Series. The Cup Series made its NBC debut in 2024, but the weather affected all of it. For example, there was not supposed to be any pre-race coverage on Sunday (June 30). However, the U.S. Senior Open at Newport Country Club in Rhode Island ended up in a rain delay. As a result, NBC chose to leave Rhode Island 15 minutes early and go to Nashville Superspeedway. It should be noted that the coverage was always scheduled to move to the Golf Channel at 3:30 p.m. ET, so with nothing going on, NBC made the move early.
