NASCAR changes schedule for upcoming race

Amid a network change, NASCAR has adjusted the start time of the upcoming Xfinity Series race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval.

Fox’s portion of the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series broadcast schedule wrapped up two Saturday afternoons ago at Sonoma Raceway.

The season’s first 14 races were shown live on either Fox or Fox Sports 1, while the remaining 19 are set to be shown live on either NBC or USA Network.

Four of these 19 races are set to be shown on NBC, but those four races include just one of the seven events on the playoff schedule.

NASCAR recently changed which playoff race that is.

The Drive for the Cure 250, the third and final race in the opening round of the playoffs, is scheduled to take place at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval on Saturday, October 7.

This race had initially been set to be broadcast live on USA Network, but it has replaced the Contender Boats 300 as the lone playoff race set to be broadcast live on NBC.

The Contender Boats 300, which is the second of three races on the schedule during the second of three rounds of the playoffs, is still scheduled to take place at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday, October 21, but it is now set to be broadcast live on USA Network as opposed to NBC.

While the Contender Boats 300 is still scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. ET, the start time for the Driver for the Cure 250 has been pushed up by a half hour as a result of the network change. Instead of starting at 3:30 p.m. ET, it is now scheduled to begin at 3:00 p.m. ET.

No further changes have been made to the playoff schedule, nor the regular season schedule, at this time.
