Motorsports TV Schedule – October 27 to 30

The two highlights of the motorsports TV schedule this weekend couldn’t be more different. From the short tracks to the road courses, we have you covered.

It’s Halloween weekend, and the racing world hopes not to frighten its fans with the great action set to take place around the world. There’s some spooky good fun to be had on TV, with everything with two to four wheels ready to trick or treat their competition in their championship quests.

NASCAR will be the big show in the United States this weekend. The stock car drivers transition from the wide-open Talladega Superspeedway to the tight confines of Martinsville. Both the Sprint Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series will be in action from the paper clip, beginning their penultimate chase rounds.

After the excitement of the United States Grand Prix, the Formula One world championship takes a short drive south to Mexico. Lewis Hamilton will look to close the gap further to Nico Rosberg in the Mexican Grand Prix from Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez on Sunday afternoon.

Fans of other racing series around the world will be in luck too. The NHRA continues their countdown to the championship at Las Vegas on Sunday. Meanwhile, the bikes are on track too, with the World Superbike Championship in Qatar, and MotoGP in Malaysia. Finally, World Rally 2016 races in the scenic views of Wales.
