Here’s a detailed overview of when and where you can follow every inch of the high-speed spectacle live.
At 11:30 a.m. ET on Saturday, the Xfinity Series field will convene at the 2.6-mile tri-oval for a qualifying session after a brief meeting with the press. This can be watched live on the CW App. At 1:30 p.m., the Cup Series field will follow suit. Tru TV, MRN, and SiriusXM will provide coverage of the premier tier’s qualifying effort.
A few hours later, at 4 p.m., the Xfinity Series field will claim the track once more for its main event of the weekend, the United Rentals 250.
