Motorsports TV Schedule for March 30 to April 2
By Alex Herbst
NASCAR, Supercross, NHRA, and Formula E…oh my! The motorsports TV schedule is chock full of great racing action to kick off April.
The action is really picking up on the motorsports TV schedule as the calendar turns from March to April. With more than half a dozen big name racing series on track throughout the weekend, there’s no fooling these race fans with the excitement they will see.
For the stock car boys of NASCAR, the swing out west is over, and off to the short tracks they go. The paper clip at Martinsville Speedway is up first, where close quarters means high intensity and low patience. The pickup drivers in the Camping World Truck Series strike first with action on Saturday afternoon, then big boys of the Cup Series take to the track on Sunday.
In other racing series, the NHRA picks up after a week off in Sin City on the strip of Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Formula E revs back up in North America with action from Mexico City, including the debut of former F1 driver Esteban Gutierrez. Finally, Supercross is back to work too, racing in the former home of the Rams in St. Louis, Missouri.
