Weekend Motorsports Roundup, Aug. 20-21, 2016
Weekend Motorsports Roundup, Aug. 20-21, 2016-August 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:29

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?

The Olympics are wrapping up this weekend, but there’s plenty of racing on if you’ve had enough of the motor-less sports. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and Xfinity Series already raced, but the Sprint Cup Series is under the lights at Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday. Dale Earnhardt Jr. , and Jeff Gordon will again be in his seat.

While NASCAR is short-track racing, the Verizon IndyCar Series will be at a long track with only three turns—Pocono Raceway. With the Olympics coverage winding down, both IndyCar and NASCAR will be on NBC Sports Network once again.

The MotoGP World Championship is in the Czech Republic for the weekend, and will stream the live coverage of it on Saturday and Sunday. If you happen to have MAVTV, they’ll have some FIA World Rally Championship coverage early on Sunday morning. It’s only an hour of coverage, so don’t feel too bad if you don’t have the channel.

As always, there’s plenty of tape-delayed coverage on as well—especially if you like NHRA. If you know of any other events or live streams going on over the weekend, feel free to let us know in the comments below.
