Enjoy The Last Bit Of Normalcy In NASCAR This Weekend Before The New Format Kicks In
Enjoy The Last Bit Of Normalcy In NASCAR This Weekend Before The New Format Kicks In-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:25

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?

There’s actually quite a bit of live racing coverage on this weekend, so get excited. NASCAR and the ARCA Racing Series are both at Daytona International Speedway, and Monster Energy Supercross is in Minnesota for the weekend.

It isn’t quite time for the NASCAR regular season, you can enjoy a somewhat routine pre-Daytona 500 ritual before the sanctioning body’s fully set in next weekend. Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers who meet certain qualifications will race in the Advance Auto Parts Clash on Saturday night, and it’s essentially just an exhibition race that doesn’t count for much other than the bragging rights and television time.

The Clash, as it has in recent years, will be in segments as you can expect . But the good thing is, that’s the way it’s been for a while and at least we don’t have to memorize a new rulebook to watch it. Next weekend at the Daytona 500 is when things get weird.

All of the Cup Series drivers will make their qualifying attempts for the Daytona 500 on Sunday afternoon, doing single-car runs for time instead of qualifying in groups. That will only decide the first and second starting positions, and the rest of the starting lineup will be decided by finishing positions the Can-Am Duels on Thursday. Since there is no Weekend Motorsports Roundup in the middle of the week, you can catch the Duel races Thursday at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. ET on Fox Sports 1.

But let’s get back to this weekend. The ARCA Racing Series will be at Daytona as well, racing 200 miles on Saturday afternoon. In addition to the ARCA race, Monster Energy Supercross is up in Minneapolis for its seventh event of the season. Ryan Dungey is still atop the points standings, with Marvin Musquin in second and Cole Seely in third.

The FIA Formula E Championship will race in Buenos Aires on Saturday, but the television coverage will be on a slight delay. Other than that, delayed coverage of interest includes stuff from King of the Hammers, the Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series and the FIA World Rally Championship.

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

The Jalopnik Bump Was Still Pretty Nice For The No. 69 Acura NSX GT3
While we always hope that the results in a win, sometimes we’re impressed enough with a team merely finishing the race. The Honda of America Racing Team (HART, for short) works in prep for their Acura NSX GT3 regular nine-to-five day jobs at Honda’s headquarters in Ohio, and they actually...

This Year's 24 Hours Of Daytona Is The Most-Attended One In Years
The 24 Hours of Daytona—IMSA’s annual season-opening festival of utter vehicular masochism and pretty lights—is more alive than ever thanks to some big names and a deep field of cars. Not only did the infield sell out entirely, but the fastest prototypes are on pace to break the record number...

I Really Hope Fernando Alonso Isn't Cursed But He's Having Fun At Daytona
One of the most exciting recent developments in Formula One is the reappearance of drivers driving in other series.

No. 5 Cadillac Prototype Wins The 24 Hours Of Daytona And Sets A New Record
While there were plenty of teams that got lots of hype for or new cars at the Rolex 24 this year, it was the relatively low-key No. 5 Cadillac DPi-V.R of Mustang Sampling Racing that limped it in for the overall win. They didn’t just beat their own engine overheating...
