Weekend Motorsports Roundup, Feb. 13-14, 2016
Weekend Motorsports Roundup, Feb. 13-14, 2016-November 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:35

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?

As all of us know too well, it’s Valentine’s Day weekend. Yes, love is in the air. But race cars are on the track, too. Lots of them.

For the first time in what seems like months, the weekend schedule is packed. Both the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and ARCA Racing Series return to the track at Daytona International Speedway, NHRA heads to California, the FIA World Rally Championship will tear up the courses in Sweden and Monster Energy Supercross is back once again. Good luck fitting in your Valentine’s celebrations.

While practice and pole qualifying for the Daytona 500 will air, the only actual race that (some of) the Sprint Cup drivers will run this weekend is an exhibition event called the Sprint Unlimited. Only 25 drivers qualify to compete in it, and the race is just a 75-lap shootout for bragging rights.

The ARCA Racing Series will compete at Daytona prior to the Sprint Unlimited on Saturday as well. As for Daytona 500 pole qualifying on Sunday, it will lock in the top two starting positions for next weekend’s show. All other drivers will decide their starting positions in the two 150-mile Can-Am Duels on Thursday.

On the drag-racing side, NHRA returns this weekend as well. The season-opening Winternationals will take place at Auto Club Raceway in Pomona, California, while Monster Energy Supercross will be just a couple of hours away in San Diego. Same state, double the fun.

But the FIA World Rally Championship will be in a whole other country. The series has a paid of the weekend online, and there will be a short amount of coverage on MAVTV as well.

In addition to the multitude of live race coverage, plenty of action will also be on tape delay. Showings include the American Sprint Car Series, Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge, Lucas Oil Modified Series, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series, There Are So Many Lucas Oil Series That Even I Lose Track Sometimes, Monster Jam and Red Bull X Fighters.

If you know of any other events or live streams going on this weekend, you know the drill. Feel free to share them with us in the comments section below.

Seven Drivers Have A Shot At Winning IndyCar's Championship Today And That's Nuts
IndyCar’s season finale today at Sonoma is going to be insane for one incredible reason: seven different drivers could win the championship. Seven! Sonoma is a double-points race which racing legend A.J. Foyt accurately called a “gimmick” in but that gimmick means that the entire top seven has to bring...
