Testing rages on for Nascar this week which began on Monday with difficult conditions at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The track had already received rain on Sunday before high winds formed a bigger concern for drivers who were getting acquainted with the banked track."It's gusting so much and so high, it just makes the car do things it normally wouldn't do," David Reutimann said. "Especially when the wind is blowing across the track.”
Tuesday’s forecast calls for clear skies and temperatures in the 40s which should give teams a better feel for what the car will do when they come back in early March.
On Thursday teams will move onto California Speedway for a two day test. Unlike Las Vegas, which was banked prior to 2007’s race, California remains a 2 mile flat track. Data discovered in Fontana can help at tracks like Kansas Speedway and Chicagoland as well as its sister track in Michigan. Lucky for the Cup teams, bad weather doesn't look like it will follow them west, with the forcast calling for temperatures in the 60s and clear skies.
