Weekend flow

How a NASCAR race weekend unfolds

The schedule above covers the active Friday-through-Sunday window and keeps Cup, O'Reilly, Truck and ARCA in separate garages. Some weekends are compact one-day shows; others build from practice to qualifying and then the race across several days.

Garage and practice

Early sessions give teams track time before qualifying. Not every series or weekend format includes a separate practice.

Qualifying and the lineup

Qualifying determines the grid when it runs. Open the Weekend hub after the session for the supplied starting-lineup information.

Race day and weather

Pre-race TV may begin before the listed green flag. Delays, postponements and canceled sessions can reorder the weekend, so recheck on race day.
