NASCAR's Going To Test Some Weird Stuff This Weekend Since The Race Isn't For Points
NASCAR's Going To Test Some Weird Stuff This Weekend Since The Race Isn't For Points-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:22

Welcome to the Jalopnik , where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?

It’s time again for the NASCAR All-Star Race, in which drivers who qualify will race a wacky format—that usually stresses everyone, including the competitors, out—for $1 million. Hey, I’d be stressed for $1 million. Sounds like a good deal.

But this year, the format looks even . In addition to the extra stages and eliminations, NASCAR will give teams the choice between the regular tire compound and a soft tire. If you’re not familiar with NASCAR, there usually isn’t any choice between tires. You get your Goodyears—the same ones, for everyone—and you go.

If you’re looking for something less wacky, the Verizon IndyCar Series will qualify for the Indianapolis 500 this weekend. Drivers get an entire week to ponder their starting spots, and the big show will be next Sunday.

The MotoGP World Championship will head to France for its race this weekend. And if you’re into being a MotoGP champion off the bike, the series will actually crown a video-game champion at its season finale this year. The fastest digital motorcycle rider on the new MotoGP video game, strangely, gets a car.

The FIA Formula E Championship race from Paris and the ARCA Racing Series will be on this weekend, both on same-weekend delay. They’re listed under the “live” column because of that, if you’re looking for them.

You can catch select parts of the FIA World Rally Championship event from Portugal via an online stream this weekend as well. Also streaming will be two different drag-racing events, one from Kentucky and the other from South Carolina, and the Super GT race from Autopolis circuit in Japan. Stream links can be found on the schedule below.

If you know of any additional racing events or streams going on this weekend, please feel free to share in the comments below.

Yoga Made Me A Faster Driver
Yoga Made Me A Faster Driver
Leaning the Porsche Cayman GTS hard into the first of the three deceptively challenging back-to-back-to-back opening turns of Lime Rock my brain suddenly goes blank. Considering I’m piloting a $100K car at triple digit speeds you’d imagine this would be scary, but I felt great. It was the first time...
