Before the green flag

What happens before the next NASCAR race

There is no single “next NASCAR race” when four series are active. Cup, O'Reilly, Craftsman Truck and ARCA run different calendars, so the board answers the question once for each garage. Pick the series you follow, then use its Weekend hub for everything leading into the green flag.

Practice and setup

When practice is scheduled, it gives teams their first race-weekend track time. The exact format and number of sessions can vary by series and event.

Qualifying and lineup

Qualifying usually sets the grid. Once lineup data is supplied, the Weekend hub is the direct route from the next-race card to starting positions.

TBA, delays and postponements

Time TBA means the green-flag window is not confirmed. After weather or a postponement, both the local start and countdown should be rechecked.

Quick answers

Next NASCAR race FAQ

When is the next NASCAR race?

The four cards above give the next confirmed Cup, O'Reilly, Truck and ARCA race separately. The date and green-flag time on each card are the quickest answer for that series.

What channel is the next NASCAR race on?

Look for Watch on the series card. It shows the currently supplied U.S. TV network or streaming platform for that race.

Is the next-race countdown in my timezone?

Yes. The countdown is absolute, and the displayed race time converts automatically to your device timezone. No manual timezone selector is needed.

Why are four next NASCAR races shown?

Each series has its own calendar. Keeping Cup, O'Reilly, Truck and ARCA separate prevents a support-series race from being presented as the next Cup race.

How to use this tool

Use the next-race board

  1. 1

    Find your series card instead of sorting through a mixed race list.

  2. 2

    Read the countdown and local green-flag time; no timezone setting is required.

  3. 3

    Open Weekend hub for practice, qualifying and lineup details, or add only that race to your calendar.

Race fan notes:
  • A countdown follows the latest confirmed start time and may change after a postponement.
  • Time TBA means NASCAR or the broadcaster has not locked the green-flag window yet.
