Motorsports TV Tuner – Racing TV Schedule, April 28 to May 1
By Alex Herbst
There are no quiet weekends in Motorsports anymore, and it will be a busy one this week ahead of the month of May.
The biggest month in Motorsports is right around the corner, and the last weekend of April will be full of great action to get fans excited. NASCAR will invade the Talladega Superspeedway with the Xfinity Series and Sprint Cup Series, for their second restrictor plate race of the year. The ARCA Racing Series will also join them on track.
Meanwhile, New Jersey will play host to the penultimate race of the Monster Energy Supercross season, ahead of their season finale at Las Vegas. Across the country, IMSA’s WeatherTech SportsCar Championship will race at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. Finally, Formula One invades Russia, racing in Sochi around the city that once hosted the winter Olympics.
