It's raining at Charlotte Motor Speedway today and the forecast does not look especially good for the remainder of the day.

With that in mind, track officials are taking a novel approach to the rotten weather: The track is throwing a NASCAR Rain Party, complete with driver appearances, live music, concourse cornhole games and movies on the giant Speedway TV.

Here's the lowdown:

2-2:30 p.m. -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. Q&A with PRN's Doug Rice at the Fan Zone;

2:30-2:45 p.m. -- Ryan Blaney Q&A with PRN's Doug Rice at the Fan Zone;

3-7 p.m. -- Cornhole at the Ford concourse near the Gate 6 entrance;

3-3:45 p.m. -- Liz Moriando live music on the concourse behind Smith Tower;

3:30-4 p.m. -- Brad Keselowski autograph session at the Penske Racing souvenir stand inside Gate 3 (subject to track conditions);

4-4:30 p.m. -- Joey Logano autograph session at the Penske Racing souvenir stand inside Gate 3 (subject to track conditions);

4-5 p.m. -- Johnny Reed Foley live music on the concourse behind Smith Tower; and

5-6 p.m. -- Candis Elwood live music on the concourse behind Smith Tower.
