How to Watch NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA, and Everything Else in Racing This Weekend, August 19-21
How to Watch NASCAR, IndyCar, NHRA, and Everything Else in Racing This Weekend, August 19-21-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:49

IndyCar rules.

Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, how to watch this weekend’s NASCAR, IndyCar, and NHRA racing, and where you can talk about it, all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?

This weekend will see the iconic ARCA Night in America not just once but twice, with one race on Friday to preview the NASCAR weekend in Watkins Glen and a second race on Sunday to give us a little of that oval action.

We’re also seeing a , with F1 legend Kimi Raikkonen taking his first-ever Cup Series start in NASCAR alongside some other legends of motorsport. I, for one, am deeply stoked about the whole thing, in part because a lot of folks on F1 Tumblr will be discovering NASCAR for the first time.

I’m really looking forward to IndyCar, though. Gateway is one of my favorite tracks on the schedule, and there’s really nothing better than oval racing in the dark. Be warned, though — because it’s a night race, it’s taking place on Saturday.

Is there anything we’ve missed? Let us know in the comments!

But if absolutely nothing will get you off your butt, here’s a visual. Don’t sit down outside corners like this dude....

Sandbagging has come up a lot in sportscar racing lately. Every team got before the 24 Hours of Daytona, and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ford GT and Ferrari 488 show their true pace before qualifying. How do teams trick officials into thinking cars are slower than...
