If inclement weather postpones a NASCAR race held at a Speedway Motorsports facility and a ticket holder is unable to attend on the rescheduled date, the Speedway Motorsports Weather Guarantee provides such fans a ticket credit toward a future NASCAR race at any of the SM speedways. This policy does not apply if an event is delayed, regardless of length of delay, but still completed on the original event date, even if completion of the event occurs after 11:59 p.m. on its scheduled date. Only the original purchaser will be given access to the SM Weather Guarantee -- no exchanges -- and fans who purchase tickets on event day should contact the speedway's ticket office (800-455-3267) to arrange how a credit will be issued. The SM weather policy only applies if an event is postponed or rescheduled. If an event is shortened due to weather or unforeseen circumstances and is deemed official by the sanctioning body, no compensation will be provided.
