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?

The Verizon IndyCar Series season starts this weekend with a street race in St. Petersburg, Florida. While the folks at current NASCAR track Atlanta Motor Speedway are worried about whether to repave the facility’s racing surface, the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg will run on an almost completely new surface due to street repaves in the city.
The St. Petersburg race is absolutely wild, as many street races are. There’s a full weekend schedule for on-track IndyCar events here, but the only broadcast between Saturday and Sunday is the actual race.

NASCAR is at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, which we now know will host two Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race weekends come 2018. The weekends will be triple-headers, and the second date comes with the loss of an Xfinity Series race at Kentucky Speedway and a New Hampshire Motor Speedway race weekend that features the Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series.
The FIA World Rally Championship is running the Rally Guanajuato México this weekend, and there will be a bit of rally coverage on Red Bull TV. That coverage consists of a couple of daily recaps, as well as a live showing of the Super Stage on Saturday afternoon.
There will also be coverage of the FIM World Superbike Championship on beIN this weekend. The first day of racing in the World Superbike weekend occurs in early, early hours of the morning on Saturday in the Eastern time zone, so you can catch some delayed coverage later that day. The Sunday coverage will also be in the middle of the night in the Eastern time zone, so enjoy the all-nighter.
