NASCAR TV Schedule This Weekend: June 21 – 23 (2024)

This weekend will be a busy one. The NASCAR Cup Series makes their only visit of the year to New England, while INDYCAR will be in California. IMSA continues the Michelin Endurance Cup at Watkins Glen, while Formula 1 returns to the familiar confines in Barcelona.

Where to Watch NASCAR This Week

The NASCAR Cup Series this weekend will make their sole visit to New Hampshire Motor Speedway. This year’s race is four weeks earlier than last year.

Coverage of the USA Today 301 will start with Countdown to Green at 2 p.m. ET Sunday on USA Network. Race coverage will begin at 2:30 p.m. ET, while the green flag will fly at 2:40 p.m. ET.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series will serve as primary support on Saturday. Coverage of the SciAps 200 will start with Countdown to Green at 3 p.m. ET on USA Network. Race coverage will start at 3:30 p.m. ET with the green flag around 3:40 p.m. ET.

In addition to Cup and Xfinity, the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour was supposed to have their biggest race of the year, the Mohegan Sun 100, on Saturday after the Xfinity race.

That race has been moved up. Instead of a 6:40 p.m. ET start, it will now start at 10 a.m. ET. The race will be streamed live on FLORacing.

Unfortunately, the weather forecast for this weekend is not the best. There is a chance of thunderstorms all weekend with the highest likelihood being on Saturday. If there are any additional changes to this schedule, we will update this article.

Where to Watch Other Racing Series This Weekend

Sunday’s NASCAR Cup Series race is the middle portion of a tripleheader of racing on USA Network. That action will start with the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship’s Sahlen’s Six Hours at the Glen.

The Sahlen’s Six Hours at the Glen is scheduled to go green at 11:10 a.m. ET Sunday. Coverage will start at 11 a.m. ET and run up to Countdown to Green. At that point, the remainder of the race will be exclusive to Peaco*ck.

The weather forecast in New England could wreak havoc with this schedule. If the Cup race in Loudon runs long due to a rain and/or lightning delay, it is possible that the INDYCAR race could get pushed to CNBC. We’ll keep you advised.

TV Ratings Update – Iowa

Unfortunately, there is a rather substantial dearth in available TV ratings, especially for cable programs. As of this writing, no cable ratings have been made available for a date beyond June 14^th.

However, we do have Cup ratings from Iowa. USA Network’s broadcast of the Iowa Corn 350 earned a 1.4 rating with 2.693 million viewers. There is no direct comparison due to it being an inaugural race, but it is the highest-rated Cup race on cable in nearly a year. It was 5% higher than the first USA Network Cup broadcast of 2023, which was the rain-shortened Quaker State 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway last July.

There are no ratings available for Saturday’s Xfinity Series race, or Friday night’s ARCA race from Iowa.
