Quiet On The NASCAR Front

Imagine that – an off-week in NASCAR. No races, no punditry by the trio over at Fox Sports, Speed Channel or any of the other channels that offer NASCAR coverage and/or commentary. Which means that the withdrawal symptoms begin, right?

Not so fast. Your Track Pass has you covered! While it’s true that there’s no actual racing coming from any of the three NASCAR series, there will be more than enough racing news and commentary to tide you over until qualifications begin next Friday – and beyond.

Bet you’re wonderng why there is this weekend of absolutely no NASCAR racing, right? Well, according to NASCAR spokesman Jim Hunter:

“We wanted a break in the season, and it just worked out that this weekend was it.”

He further added that there was no grand design to work out the schedule so that all three series are idle.

Speaking of off-weekends, there are only four of them (including this weekend); after Sunday, the Cup schedule has weekends off on April 4, July 17 and August 29. But the Nationwide Series will race on April 3 in Nashville, July 17 in Madison, IL and August 29 in Montreal, Canada while the Camping World Truck Series will race on April 2 in Nashville, July 16 in Madison, IL and the August 29 weekend in Chicago.

So enjoy this weekend of peace and quiet, and also stay tuned to Your Track Pass for all of your up-to-date racing news and commentary.
