As the racing season continues to heat up, NASCAR returns to the East Coast after two weekends of desert racing. Bristol Motor Speedway will host two different events this weekend.
Where to Watch NASCAR This Weekend
The NASCAR Cup Series will race in the Food City 500 on Sunday, marking the 33rd straight year that the Abingdon, Va.-based grocery store chain has served as the race’s title sponsor. Coverage will start with NASCAR RaceDay Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1. Pre-race coverage will move to FOX at 3 p.m. ET. Race coverage is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. ET with the green flying at 3:45 p.m. ET.
The Cup teams will be supported by the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, who will race for 250 laps at Bristol for the very first time in the Weather Guard Truck Race at Bristol (previous races have been either 150 or 200 laps). Coverage will start with NASCAR RaceDay – NCTS Edition at 7 p.m. ET Saturday night on FS1. Race coverage begins at 8 p.m. ET with the green flag around 8:10 p.m. ET.
The weather forecast for both Saturday and Sunday in Bristol is a bit questionable. There is a chance of rain both days in Eastern Tennessee. Should changes be made to the schedule, we will update this article and additional news articles will be posted to Frontstretch to explain what happened.
