The West Swing races of the 2022 NASCAR season are well underway. Drivers and teams went racing in Fontana last weekend and are going to be battling for the checkered flag in Sin City this Sunday.
The West Swing races take place on the west coast of the country, which is predominantly covered with vast deserts and dry climatic conditions. Thus, the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube should have no threat of rain to play spoil-sport. Here are the weather predictions for race day:
Sunday, March 6, 2022: Cool with sunshine and patchy clouds with a high of 60°F and a low of 43°F.
NASCAR, in the interest of safety, does not allow any races to start or continue in rainy conditions on oval tracks.
Las Vegas, however, has been known to produce some windy weather conditions over the past few years, which could hamper cars on track. This is not as big a problem as rain but could surely add another variable to the race this Sunday.
