NASCAR weekend schedule: Indianapolis

SJTDhL_xMjjt
The NASCAR America Motormouths crew discusses the disqualification of Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch at Pocono Raceway following a post-race inspection and what it means for the integrity of NASCAR moving forward.

All three NASCAR major series will be in action this weekend at or near Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

There’s a rarity -- the IndyCar Series will share Saturday’s race program at IMS with the NASCAR Xfinity Series.

And, about 10 miles west of IMS, the Camping World Truck Series is scheduled to race at .686-mile Indianapolis Raceway Park Friday night.

Sunday’s Cup race (2:30 p.m. ET, NBC) will be the second on IMS’ 2.4-mile road course. AJ Allmendinger won last year’s race. Series point leader Chase Elliott, a four-time winner this year, will be among the favorites.

Here is a look at this weekend’s schedule:

Indianapolis Motor Speedway (Cup, Xfinity and IndyCar)
