The NASCAR weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway promises a whirlwind of on‑track action, featuring the Truck, O’Reilly and Cup Series in a tightly packed schedule.
On Friday, the Truck Series will hit the 1.5‑mile intermediate layout for a practice session at 3:30 PM ET on Fox Sports 2, followed by qualifying at 4:35 PM ET on the same network, with the race kicking off at 7:30 PM ET on FS1.
Saturday brings the O’Reilly Series into focus, with its practice slated for 11:00 AM ET on the CW App and qualifying at 12:05 PM ET on the same platform; the series race will then run at 5:00 PM ET on the CW, covering 300 laps for a total of 300 miles.
The following day, the Cup Series takes center stage with its own practice at 1:30 PM ET and qualifying at 2:40 PM ET, both streamed on Amazon Prime Video, before the iconic Coca‑Cola 600 rolls off at 6:00 PM ET, a 400‑lap, 600‑mile endurance test on the same 1.5‑mile track.
Fans have grown accustomed to the shifting broadcast landscape, as the Cup Series moves away from Fox Sports to Amazon Prime Video, a transition that has sparked conversation across the racing community.
Charlotte Motor Speedway, known for its fast, banked turns and 1.5‑mile distance, serves as a critical proving ground for teams and drivers aiming to fine‑tune setups before the summer stretch of the season.
