(RacingWire) - Impending severe weather has forced NASCAR and Talladega Superspeedway to cancel all track activites today.  The move means fans will enjoy a doubleheader on Sunday with the Nationwide Series race scheduled to run following the Sprint Cup race.

The following is Talladega Superspeedway's statement regarding the decision.

“In the interest of fan safety, all activities scheduled at Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday have been postponed due to the significant threat of extended periods of severe weather. This decision was made based on advice from the National Weather Service and the Talladega County Emergency Management Agency.  Fans are strongly encouraged to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety, especially those guests camping on speedway property.

The Aaron’s 312 NASCAR Nationwide Series race scheduled for Saturday will now be held Sunday following the Aaron’s 499 Sprint Cup Series race.  Any ticket for the Aaron’s 312 or Aaron’s 499 will be honored at the gate on Sunday. All Aaron’s 499 ticket holders have priority seating and should proceed to their assigned ticket area.  Aaron’s 312 ticket holders will be directed to open seating by speedway staff.

Gates open at 8 a.m. and the Aaron’s 499 will begin at 12 noon as originally scheduled.

Fans who want to witness more than 800 miles of back-to-back, high-speed action at Talladega but who have not yet purchased their tickets can still do so by calling 877-Go2-DEGA or visiting one of our ticket booths on property.”
