The 1999 The Orleans 150 was the second stock car race of the 1999 NASCAR Winston West Series. The race was held on Friday, March 5, 1999, at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, a 1.500 mi (2.414 km) tri-oval shaped racetrack in Las Vegas, Nevada. The race took the scheduled 100 laps to complete. The race was won by Jerry Nadeau, his first win in his first and only career Winston West Series start.
