Below a TV Schedule for, Michigan International Speedway and World Wide Technology Raceway. NASCAR Cup and Xfinity Series are racing at MIS along with the ARCA Menards Series, this weekend. The Trucks are off this weekend preparing for the start of their “play off” next weekend at Milwaukee Mile.
Mother Nature seems to be a factor in most of the race weekends this year, this one is no exception. The forecast for the weekend doesn’t look good but Sunday might be OK, weather updates are as usual at Race Weather.
Indy Car are back on an oval this weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway or Gateway as some of us knows it. The Penske teams have been strong on the ovals lately, so I hope to see some if other team give them a match. WWTR is a 1.25-mile (2.01 km) oval with unique shape and varying degrees of banking in each corner. Turns 1 & 2 have characteristics similar to New Hampshire Motor Speedway while Turns 3 & 4 are similar to Phoenix Raceway and the track’s egg shape is reminiscent of Darlington Raceway.
NHRA dragracing this weekend from Brainerd, MN. European Top Fuel champion Ida Zettterström is making her NHRA Top Fuel debut at the Brainerd Nationals, Sunday at 3:00 PM on Fox. Don’t forget to check Race Weather for the latest forecast but so far so good!
