Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and where you can talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?
As this is a holiday weekend throughout some places in the world, we're a bit light on the zooming around with the cars and the race tracks over these next two days. That being said, there's still MotoGP, DTM, and, of course NASCAR.
NASCAR's Nationwide Series gets a special shoutout from WMR this week, owing to our newest contributor, Parker Klingerman, and his newest, bestest, and all-around fantasticest (those are all words now, I decided) Jalopnik racing livery. Sure, it's just a sticker on the side, but it's a beautiful sticker, and the Jalopnik livery will surely go down in history as one of the greats alongside Gulf and Alitalia. Oh yeah, I'm calling that one now.
We know there's been a few site changes recently, so in the interests of comfort and familiarity we'll be keeping the races in the body of the posts, as well as on the map. Of course, please use our image annotation tool on the map above to show us races we might have missed, where they're being held, and where we can livestream them.
All times Eastern.
