Daytona, but make it curvy.
The three major series are all back at Daytona this weekend, and they’re taking on the Road Course, which you may have seen in the Busch Clash. Or last summer. Or…have they run it any other times? Feel like they probably use it for some of those non-NASCAR races.
Here’s the weekend schedule:
Trucks: BrakeBest Brake Pads 159 At DAYTONA Presented by O’Reilly
Green flag is scheduled for 7:44 PM EST tonight. TV is FS1. 44 laps. One thing to keep an eye on is the dirt situation—there were some issues keeping it off the track during the Clash, and that could turn into a story throughout the weekend.
Xfinity: Super Start Batteries 188 At DAYTONA Presented by O’Reilly
TV starts at 5:00 PM EST tomorrow, so guessing the green flag’s around 5:14. FS1. 52 laps. Keep an eye on Ryan Vargas, who just put together a sponsorship deal with burgeoning NASCAR ambassador Alvin Kamara, of the New Orleans Saints.
Cup Series: O’Reilly Auto Parts 253 At Daytona
Looking like the green flag will be a little after 3:00 PM EST Sunday. FOX. 70 laps. Full preview coming Sunday morning, but defending Cup champion Chase Elliott should be the favorite. He’s great on road courses.
