All three of the national NASCAR series are in action this weekend with races split between Daytona International Speedway and the Milwaukee Mile Speedway.
Xfinity Series teams will race Friday night at the 2.5-mile superspeedway in Florida. Cup Series teams will race Saturday night.
Daytona traditionally hosts the regular-season finale, but the Olympic break altered the schedule. Saturday's race will be one of two remaining races before the playoffs.
Craftsman Truck Series teams will close out the weekend with the opening race of the playoffs. They will race Sunday afternoon at the Milwaukee Mile Speedway. ARCA Menards Series teams will also race at Milwaukee on Sunday afternoon.
