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-May 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.

Formula One Takes Important Action Against Mid-Season Helmet Changes
Formula One Takes Important Action Against Mid-Season Helmet Changes
In a bold move, Formula One has gotten straight to the cancer killing its appeal to fans and removed it before the season even starts. Starting this year, drivers will no longer be able to change their helmet designs mid-season. No longer will you, the fan, have to put up...

The GM IndyCar Aero Kit Looks Like A Big-Boned F1 Car From 2008
The Chevrolet IndyCar aero kit for the DW12 is, uh, angular. Lots and lots of angles and flaps—so much so that it reminds us of the Formula One racers from almost a decade ago. Moreover, we're still not really sure why this is the big issue the series chose to...
