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?
The live-racing schedule isn’t as packed this weekend as it has been, but there is certainly enough to keep anyone entertained. On top of that, the tape-delayed schedule is full. Get excited.
The FIA World Endurance Championship will run its second race of the season on Saturday in Belgium. Last time the cars were on track was for the 6 Hours of Silverstone, and the race had an unusual amount of carnage in the series’ top LMP1 class. Of the nine LMP1 cars entered, only four of them topped the overall results at the end of the race.
The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series returned to the track on Friday night, with William Byron taking the victory at Kansas Speedway. The Xfinity Series is off this weekend, but the Sprint Cup Series will run the GoBowling 400—perhaps one of the best race names on the schedule—on Saturday night.
For the motorcycle fans, both Monster Energy Supercross and MotoGP will be on as well over the next two days. As we’ve all become accustomed to, coverage from MotoGP’s Monster Energy Grand Prix of France is on BeIN. Times on the schedule below are via the BeIN website.
The Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup will have a YouTube live stream on both Saturday and Sunday, and keep in mind that each showing has a different link below.
As for the tape-delayed coverage, you can catch the Pirelli World Challenge, American Sprint Car Series, Lucas Oil Modified Series, Lucas Oil Late Model Dirt Series, FIA World Rally Championship, NHRA, Monster Jam, DTM, Red Bull Air Race, Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge and the Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series this weekend.
