Formula 1, NASCAR Cup Series and IndyCar back in action this weekend
By Asher Fair
After Formula 1, the NASCAR Cup Series and IndyCar all had off this past weekend, all three series get back to work this weekend.
From the start of the 2018 NASCAR Cup Series season with the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach, Florida on Sunday, February 18 to the end of the 2018 Formula 1 season with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Sunday, November 25, there were only two off weekends scheduled for Formula 1, the NASCAR Cup Series and IndyCar on the same weekend.
The second of these two off weekends just took place this past weekend, as none of those three series were in action on Father’s Day Weekend. The first of these two weekends was Easter Weekend, which took place back on Saturday, March 31 and Sunday, April 1.
But this weekend, all three of these series are back in action. All three of these series were in action last weekend as well, as IndyCar raced at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas on Saturday, June 9, Formula 1 raced at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Parc Jean-Drapeau in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on Sunday, June 10, and the NASCAR Cup Series raced at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Michigan on Sunday as well.
