Quite recently, the Las Vegas Motor Speedway witnessed some unusual scenes ahead of the NASCAR race in October. As it turns out, the Las Vegas area was witnessing heavy rainfall. The rain was so heavy that there was a fair bit of flooding and some of it affected the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.

It was practically a river, and the speedway’s social media account cheekily asked F1 tire supplier Pirelli for rain tires.

Of course, once the fans witnessed the crazy scenes, they were quick to react. A lot of the reactions cycled between being relieved that there was rain, to people thinking that the Vegas desert weather was just plain mad.

However, there were a fair number of people who were cracking jokes about going swimming.

What did NASCAR fans say about Las Vegas Motor Speedway flooding?

There were responses like, “Naw, get us some beer & Tubes and we got us a lazy river”, “Boat racing?” and “Nah you won’t need any tires for that, you need a boat”.

Others said, “This actually makes me so happy! We are so desperate for rain!!” and “Wow! Could you send that to California please.”

Some responses read, “Floods in July snow in march. The dessert is a crazy place!”

A few fans even joked, “Better get them “Flood Tires” cuz its beyond the need for “rain” tires!”

A fair number of people even reminisced when similar conditions occurred during the race weekend they attended, “Wow!!! I remember being there during race weekend when it did that!”

Finally, a response read, “Damn out of all the places to huh, Vegas desert is crazy.”
