Motorsports TV Schedule For February 23rd-26th

The biggest weekend of the year for NASCAR is finally here! Daytona Day 2017 is coming at you front and center in this week’s motorsports TV schedule.

Are you ready for Daytona Day? The Great American Race marks the unofficial start of racing season around America, and NASCAR fans cannot wait to see the stock cars back on track. But of course, there’s plenty of other racing action to be seen in the coming weekend as well.

Understandably, NASCAR is the big ticket item topping our schedule this weekend in the motorsports world. After a three-month winter break, the top stock car drivers in the world are ready to take on the 2017 campaign. Coverage this week kicks off on Thursday with the Can-Am Duels at Daytona, which will set the starting lineup for the Daytona 500. Then on Friday, the Camping World Truck Series roars to life in the NextEra Energy Resources 250. Saturday sees the return of the Xfinity Series on track in the PowerShares QQQ 300. And finally, the big show will finally arrive on Sunday, with the 59th running of the Daytona 500.

Elsewhere in the racing world, the NHRA will also be on track this weekend. After an exciting start to the season in Pomona, the action shifts to the desert southwest. The NHRA Phoenix Nationals can be seen throughout the weekend on FS1.
