quick question - engine oil

I just got done changing the oil in my 4.6. In the past i've used 5w30 or 10w30.
I was planning to use 10w30 today, but i accidentally used the wrong oil (meant for my other car)
I put in 15w50.

How is this going to affect the car? should i drain it and use 10w30 or will i be good? Car isnt daily driven, maybe on weekends only, however, i'll be towing my racecar next weekeend (about 250miles RT)

Thanks
Franklin
