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, everyone. Hopefully you’ve survived another work week and are ready to sit back and watch some racing, because plenty is on the schedule over the next two days.
NASCAR once again has a triple-header race weekend planned—this time, at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The Camping World Truck Series and Xfinity Series will both run on Saturday, with the Sprint Cup Series headlining the Sunday show. Denny Hamlin’s historically close win in the Daytona 500 essentially locks him into the series’ Chase for the Sprint Cup, and any driver who does the same this weekend—if it’s not Hamlin again—will punch the same ticket.

Georgia is a bustling place on Saturday, as Monster Energy Supercross will be just under an hour away from the NASCAR events at the Georgia Dome. The final live event of the weekend, NHRA, will be several states away in Arizona. This will be the first weekend NHRA is on track since its Feb. 14 season opener, which wasn’t without a scare—a 69-year-old Funny Car competitor went shooting into the safety net at 307 mph when his parachutes failed to deploy.
