Welcome to the JalopnikWeekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?
Happy weekend once again. There are plenty of reasons to celebrate, including a whole lot of racing on television. Go ahead and clear up both your schedules and your DVR boxes, because it’s going to be a fun one.
The Verizon IndyCar Series will begin its Indianapolis Motor Speedway tour this weekend with the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, which will run on the interior road course of the track rather than the oval—well, rectangle—that the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 occur on at the end of the month.

In other open-wheel competition, Formula One will run its Spanish Grand Prix at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. The Spanish Grand Prix will be the first race in which Max Verstappen will be in Daniil Kvyat’s former Red Bull Racing seat, after Kvyat had a brush up with Sebastian Vettel a few weeks ago at the Russian Grand Prix. Kvyat will move back to the Toro Rosso in order to “regain his form and show his potential.” Ouch.
NASCAR has a triple header weekend at Dover International Speedway, and the Camping World Truck Series already ran its event on Friday night with a win by series veteran Matt Crafton. The Xfinity Series and Sprint Cup Series will run on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. In the realm of NASCAR, one of the sport’s most well-known families is in the midst of a bit of drama at the moment over which family members have the right to use the Earnhardt name.

The Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup is at Silverstone Circuit as well, and YouTube live streams will keep you covered throughout the weekend—just keep in mind that every showing has a different stream link.
