NASCAR is set to tackle two very different tracks this weekend, with the Cup Series heading to Atlanta Motor Speedway and the Xfinity Series making its annual pilgrimage to Lime Rock Park in Connecticut.
Broadcast and streaming details
TNT Sports will broadcast the premier race, marking the third of five events in its summer slate, while HBO Max will stream the action live, offering fans on‑board camera angles and a seamless digital experience.
The schedule also includes supporting series, with the Xfinity and Craftsman Truck Series delivering their own line‑ups of thrills before the Cup cars take to the 1.54‑mile oval in Atlanta.
Recent on‑track action
Just a week ago, Chase Briscoe captured his first victory of the 2026 season at Chicagoland Speedway, a performance that underscored his growing momentum as the season progresses.
Denny Hamlin, meanwhile, has extended his lead in the championship standings, now sitting 44 points ahead of Tyler Reddick, a gap that could prove decisive as the playoffs loom.
Atlanta’s unpredictable allure
Atlanta has earned a reputation as a track where almost anyone can find Victory Lane, a fact highlighted by Tyler Reddick’s most recent win there and the defending summer race champion, Chase Elliott, who continues to chase another marquee triumph.
The upcoming Quaker State 400 at EchoPark Speedway promises another night of high‑octane drafting, with the full entry list revealing a mix of seasoned veterans and rising underdogs still in contention for the In‑Season Challenge.
Fans can tune in across TNT Sports and HBO Max to catch every lap, while the diverse roster of teams — including Trackhouse Racing, Team Penske, Joe Gibbs Racing and others — adds depth to what promises to be a fiercely contested event.
