During Sunday’s O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 Monster Energy Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway, it won’t be sunburn you’ll be worrying about but wind burn. Wind will continue to be gusty in Texas for Sunday’s NASCAR race. Winds will be between 15 to 25 mph with occasional gusts near 30 mph.

Temperatures will be warm, but clouds will be dominate in the sky during the race. Expect it to be cloudy to mostly cloudy with race temperatures in the middle to upper 70s with a high near 80.
