One of the most iconic endurance races in the world highlights our motorsports TV schedule for this racing weekend.

The big boys of NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series and the Verizon IndyCar Series may be off this weekend, but our motorsports TV schedule for the upcoming weekend is highlighted by a big new race, along with one of the classic endurance races of the world. There is also plenty of stateside racing too, from thunder valley to the nation’s heartland.

One of the most prestigious races on the endurance racing calendar steals most of the spotlight, with many of the world’s top drivers racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Fox Sports will cover the event from green to checkered, with their many different platforms. Meanwhile, following the thrilling conclusion of the race from France, the eyes of the racing world shift to Baku, Azerbaijan where Formula One makes their inaugural appearance for the European Grand Prix.

Back home in the USA, NASCAR will still have action from the Xfinity Series and Camping World Truck Series from the popular Iowa Speedway. The NHRA will be in action too with drag racing from thunder valley in Bristol, Tennessee. Finally, the two wheelers of AMA Pro Motocross and the World Superbike Championship will be conquering the twists and turns too.
