Motorsports TV Schedule – October 13 to October 16

All eyes turn to the nation’s heartland this weekend, as NASCAR racing from the Kansas Speedway highlights our motorsports TV schedule.

The hunt for a championship is on in many motorsports around the world and much of the action can be found on TV. NASCAR leads the charge, as both the Sprint Cup Series and Xfinity Series are in the middle of their championship chase.

Stock car racing from Kansas Speedway is at the top of the bill for this weekend’s TV schedule – the Xfinity Series on Saturday afternoon and then the Sprint Cup Series on Sunday – but it’s not the only event. The rest of the racing world has its own competition on tap.

The ARCA Racing Series kicks off the weekend with their season finale on Friday night on FS1. Both MotoGP and the World Endurance Championship will be on track in Japan over the weekend.

Meanwhile, the Superbike World Championship and World Rally Championship will race in Spain, and finally the NHRA continues their countdown to the championship from the Lone Star State of Texas.

Here is the full motorsports TV schedule for October 13 to 16, 2016 (all times ET):
