Las Vegas Motor Speedway is looking to have some fans at its NASCAR weekend March 5-7 in this age of COVID-19.
LVMS President Chris Powell said Gov. Steve Sisolak’s COVID-19 pandemic update on restrictions Thursday allows for mass gatherings of 20 percent capacity beginning March 1 pending approval.
“We’ve submitted a comprehensive plan and are hopeful of approval in the coming days,” Powell said.
Fan attendance is contingent upon the approval of the LVMS plan that has been submitted to the Nevada Department of Business and Industry.
Race fans attending the races will be required to maintain proper social distancing, wear face coverings, be subject to temperature checks at the gate and any other regulations required by state and local government. There also will be no fan access to the infield, pit or garage areas throughout the weekend. — Las Vegas Motor Speedway
“Everyone who attends the event will have my personal assurance that the well-being of our fans, competitors and staff will be our foremost priority,” Powell said. “We want everyone who attends the event to know that we will be taking every precaution to keep everyone safe.”
