NASCAR's Saturday running under threat of windy weather conditions at Las Vegas Motor Speedway

NASCAR's Xfinity Series Spring Race At Las Vegas could be marred by some heavy wind as per the latest weather reports.

The weather hasn't been very kind to NASCAR in the 2024 campaign. The season's first race weekend in Daytona was largely affected by bad weather, postponing 2024's first Xfinity and Cup races to Monday.

While the subsequent race weekend in Atlanta proceeded without major disruptions, it appears that the upcoming Xfinity race in Las Vegas could once again be at the mercy of Mother Nature, with strong winds posing a significant concern.

The latest weather reports from Las Vegas indicate the possibility of wind gusts reaching 50-60 mph on Saturday. The National Weather Service, Las Vegas, NV, released an official warning for high wind on Saturday. The statement read:

"Wind advisory remains in effect until 7 AM PST /8 AM MST/ Saturday. High wind warning remains in effect from 7 AM PST /8 AM MST/ Saturday to 10 AM PST /11 AM MST/ Sunday.

"Watch for falling debris, tree limbs and downed power lines or poles. Use extra caution if you must drive."

It remains to be seen whether the 300-mile NASCAR race in Las Vegas faces any difficulties due to the looming weather conditions.
