Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend 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?
Hell yeah, the 2022 racing season is underway. Sure there’s more important shit happening all over the world right now, but I guess it’s good to have something to keep our minds occupied during these times that continue to be unprecedented. Race fans actually have something to look forward to this weekend, as there are some pretty great races going down on both coasts. Over in California the NASCAR field is going back to Los Angeles but this time to hit up a much larger race track. And down in Florida (not Russia) the IndyCar grid will line up for the first time this year on the streets of St. Petersburg. Oh, and some weird hybrids are going to go fast in the woods over somewhere in Europe, I guess?
