So, is there a NASCAR race tomorrow?
Well, no, there is no NASCAR racing in any of the three premier series this weekend. ARCA however will run at Berlin Raceway on Saturday night.
But fret not gearheads, this is the last time this season that the Cup Series will take a week off.
That’s right, that means 20 weeks of races in a row leading us all the way through the Championship Race in November and we figured, hey, this seems like as good a time as any for a quick recap and reset. After all, there won’t be time for such things as we move forward.
When racing does return at Nashville next week, you’ll find it in a different place as NBC takes over broadcast duties from FOX with the remaining Cup Series races split between NBC and USA Network. In two weeks, the anticipated Chicago Street Race will roar through the Windy City.
