Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, 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?
Since Stef is off having all kinds of fun at the Nürburgring without us, you’re getting as close to a full Weekend Motorsports Roundup as I can cobble together. I’m not the hero you need, I’m the hero you deserve.
Besides the World Endurance Championship at the ‘Ring, which will come with lots of sweet live coverage here, there’s also MotoGP at Silverstone, NASCAR Xfinity at Road America and trucks in Canada, and perhaps most importantly, IndyCar’s season finale at Sonoma Raceway. That last one happens a week after the tragic death of racer Justin Wilson, which likely will weigh heavily on the minds of drivers and fans alike for the final race of 2015.
Anyway, I’m out of practice when it comes to putting these together and I’m sure I missed stuff, so feel free to point it out in the comments.
All times Eastern.
