LVMS keeping eye on coronavirus development
Like most local sporting franchises and facilities, Las Vegas Motor Speedway is keeping a diligent eye on the progression of the coronavirus following its first reported case in Southern Nevada.
“We are staying in contact with the local authorities who know a lot more about this issue than we do,” LVMS president Chris Powell said. “We’ll follow whatever instructions we get from local authorities. Our company (Speedway Motorsports) is also paying close attention.”
“So far, I’m not aware of any recommendation to do anything different, other than trying to pay attention to common touch points that we’re asking our maintenance staff to keep a close eye on — the kind of disinfecting we’ve always been doing.”
LVMS recently hosted the first of its two 2020 NASCAR racing weekends. It’s next major motor sports offering is the April 3-5 DENSO Spark Plugs NHRA Four-Wide Nationals.
