For the first time in more than a month, the NASCAR schedule this week will feature a race in all three series. This weekend also marks the return of the Charlotte Oval, with NASCAR moving away from the roval course at Charlotte Motor Speedway. If all of that isn’t reason enough to entice NASCAR fans, we’ve got three critical races in The Chase happening from Friday through Sunday.
Let’s take a look at the NASCAR schedule this weekend at Charlotte. As always, we’ll start by listing the day-by-day schedule to break down what’s happening from Friday through Sunday. Below that we’ll have the individual Truck Series, O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and Cup Series schedules this weekend. At the bottom, you can find race info and Charlotte Motor Speedway track info. All times listed are Eastern Time.
