As long as you are into racing on four wheels there is definitely something on television for you this weekend! All of the heavy-hitters are in action. Formula 1 is in China. Speed has live coverage of practice, qualifying, and the race, with a re-air of the race at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday if you forget to record it at 2:30 a.m. NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide series are at Texas Motor Speedway while the IndyCar Series is the headline at Long Beach.
Fortunately that’s not all though as the American Le Mans Series will also be at Long Beach on Saturday. Rounding out an already packed day on Saturday, Speed is showing taped coverage of last week’s Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge from Birmingham which was run last weekend. On Sunday, along with the Sprint Cup Samsung Mobile 500 and the previously mentioned Formula 1 Grand Prix of China, Versus is airing the Speed World Challenge race from the Streets of St. Petersburg. If you’re up really early for the F1 race, you can also catch the Patron GT3 Challenge from Sebring.
