Nevada Speedway

Play day today at Nevada Speedway from 1-6pm!!! Pit passes are just $10 and grandstands are free. 

Drivers will be pitting in the south pits. Also drivers can get registrations taken care of. We hope to see you today!!

Saturday Evening Storms

Most of your day today should be dry, warm and a little humid. But that warm and humid air will fuel thunderstorms during the evening and overnight hours. 

Some of those storms may be severe with the possibility of large hail and damaging winds. We think the most likely timing for any severe storms will be between 6 pm and midnight.
