At Richmond Raceway, where championship dreams are measured in laps and points, the weather reminded competitors and fans alike that some forces remain beyond the reach of even the most meticulous preparation. The Black's Tire 250, a meaningful fixture in the NASCAR Truck Series regular season, was pushed from Friday to Saturday after rain and threatening skies made racing impossible. In a sport defined by precision and control, the postponement stood as a quiet lesson in humility — the race would come, but on nature's terms, not the schedule's.
