NASCAR’s trip out west has been a hot one since it arrived in Phoenix. Temperatures will be in the 90s with plenty of sunshine, and that will continue at Phoenix International Raceway for today’s Camping World 500 Monster Energy Cup race.
NASCAR Phoenix weather: Hot race day forecast
Hot temperatures and plenty of sun for the Arizona desert as NASCAR visits Phoenix International Raceway
With temperatures this hot, fans will need to remember to beat the heat and stay safe. Stay hydrated. Tailgating at the track usually means fun and alcohol, but try to mix in a little more water with your preferred tailgating drink. Water will be your best friend on a hot day like Sunday
Try to find a lighter-colored shirt of your favorite driver — something in a light gray or white. Darker colors absorb heat from the sun and then heat you up. Sunscreen will be an absolute must. Finally, make sure you find shade and breaks, even a cooling station at the track. And if you start to feel sick, listen to your body and get some medical attention.
