It’s a 50 minute NASCAR practice session in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s hot in the desert, the temperature reads upwards of 130 degrees inside the race cars as practice gets underway.
There was a big fire are the end of the Truck Series race last night. This morning that spayed water all over the tri-oval. They cleaned all the oil and all the rubber off as well. Drivers aren’t concerned about that area.
Jimmie Johnson is the first car on track in the second practice session at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
15 minutes into the session, Ryan Newman sits at the top of the board.
