Weekend Schedule for Atlanta and Mid-Ohio

The NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series return to Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend for the second time this season as the Camping World Truck Series travels to the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course for the first time ever. The ARCA Menards Series will also compete at Mid-Ohio Friday evening.

Practice and qualifying for the Truck Series is set for Friday. There is no practice scheduled for the Cup or Xfinity Series. Qualifying for the Xfinity Series will take place Saturday at 10:05 a.m. followed by Cup Series qualifying at 11:35 a.m.

Thirteen Cup Series drivers have won races so far this year, including five first-time winners. This leaves only three open spots in the Playoffs with eight races remaining in the regular season.

There are five open spots remaining in the Xfinity Series Playoffs Seven drivers have secured their place by virtue of wins including Ty Gibbs, AJ Allmendinger, Justin Allgaier, Noah Gragson, Josh Berry, Brandon Jones and Austin Hill.

The Truck Series race this weekend at Mid-Ohio is the last race in the Triple Truck Challenge and the last opportunity to earn the $50,000 bonus.
