Motorsports TV Schedule for May 11 to 14

From the heartland to the heart of the Iberian Peninsula, the motorsports TV schedule will keep you busy nearly halfway through the month of May.

The month of May is one of the best months of racing in the world. With some classic races from NASCAR, IndyCar, and Formula One, weekends are mostly lost to the aura and allure of the great motorsports TV schedule to come. Now almost halfway through May, another busy weekend is on tap.

NASCAR makes the transition from the high banks of Talladega to the heartland of Kansas. The Camping World Truck Series comes back after over a month off, racing on Friday night at the 1.5-mile oval. Then a Saturday night special comes for the Cup Series, where drivers like Chase Elliott could look to follow Ricky Stenhouse Jr. as a first-time winner in 2017.

IndyCar is ready to roll at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, kicking off the festivities with the Indy Grand Prix on the road course. With three different winners in the three races of the 2017 campaign, could another surprise end up in victory circle on Saturday afternoon? This will also be one of the final races for Allen Bestwick and IndyCar on ABC.

The Formula One world championship rolls out of the Middle East and into their European backyard. The first stop on the European swing comes on the Iberian Peninsula in Spain for the Spanish Grand Prix. Meanwhile, their electric brethren will compete on the streets of Monaco on Saturday.

Elsewhere in racing, the two-wheelers will also race this weekend. The FIM World Superbike Championship will race in Italy, while MotoAmerica takes on the Virginia International Raceway.
