is there a car race on tv today

[JamesonLynn]

Yes, there are several major car races on TV today. The most prominent broadcast is the NASCAR Cup Series race from a iconic track like Talladega Superspeedway, airing at 3:00 PM ET on FOX. For open-wheel fans, the NTT IndyCar Series has a street circuit event, with coverage starting at 1:00 PM ET on NBC. Additionally, Formula 1 qualifying for tomorrow's Grand Prix is often shown in tape delay on ESPN2 in the afternoon. The best way to get a complete, up-to-the-minute schedule is to check a dedicated TV listings website like TVGuide.com or the official motorsports series websites.

Major racing series have set broadcast partners, making them relatively easy to find. NASCAR is primarily on FOX and FS1 for the first half of the season. IndyCar races are split between NBC and the USA Network. Formula 1 has an exclusive deal with ESPN in the United States. For niche series like IMSA sports cars or Formula E, you might need to check channels like USA Network or CBS Sports Network, or their dedicated streaming apps.

If you've cut the cord, streaming is your best friend. Services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and FuboTV carry all the major channels that broadcast races. For die-hard fans, the official streaming services are unparalleled. F1 TV Pro shows every session live, Peacock Premium is the home for IndyCar and Supercross, and NASCAR TrackPass on Peacock offers additional coverage. Just open your streaming app's guide and search for "motorsports" or the specific series name.

Honestly, you gotta check your phone. I just open the ESPN or FOX Sports app—they have a "Live" tab that shows everything broadcasting right now and what's coming up. If I see a race, I'll watch. Otherwise, I might search "NASCAR TV schedule" on Google. It's faster than flipping through channels. Sundays are usually a safe bet for finding something, especially in the afternoon.

As a long-time follower, I always look at the F1 and IndyCar schedules posted on their official websites at the start of the week. Today, for instance, the focus is on IndyCar. The main event is on NBC. I also set a DVR for any tape-delayed events on channels like ESPN2, as they often replay qualifying sessions or races from other time zones. It’s about planning ahead rather than checking last minute.

My brother is the real fan, so I just text him. He always knows what's on and when. If I'm on my own, I'll ask my smart speaker, "Are there any car races on TV today?" It usually pulls up a list from my connected streaming services. It's the easiest way if you don't want to dig through menus. For a quick glance, the TV guide on my screen is the fallback plan.

I'm new to this, so I found a few websites that are lifesavers. Jayski.com and Motorsport.com have simple, clear schedules for the whole week. They tell you the series, the race, the time, and the channel all in one place. I bookmark them and take a look on Saturday morning to plan my weekend. It's less overwhelming than trying to figure it out from a general TV guide filled with everything else.
