Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, how to watch NASCAR’s throwback weekend at Darlington, the 1,000th MotoGP race and IndyCar’s GMR Grand Prix, and where you can talk about it, all in one convenient place.
NASCAR is headed to Darlington Raceway for its throwback weekend. The Goodyear 400 will be a showcase of close racing and retro paint schemes as NASCAR continues its 75th anniversary season. Though, many are still talking about between Ross Chastain and Noah Gragson after last week’s race.
MotoGP is also celebrating its 1,000th international motorcycle Grand Prix with this weekend’s French Grand Prix at Le Mans. Eight-time world champion also returns to competition after over a month away due to injury.
The NTT IndyCar Series begins its Month of May festivities with the GMR Grand Prix on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. Meanwhile, Monster Energy Supercross is concluding its season with its Championship Final in Salt Lake City. Heading into Utah, Honda’s Chase Sexton is champion-presumptive after Yamaha’s Eli Tomac ruptured his Achilles tendon last weekend.
