CONCORD, N.C. - A thunderous Thursday in Thunder Valley kicks off a quadruple header of stock car racing at Bristol Motor Speedway this weekend.
And you can watch it all!
Obviously, the finale of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs Round of 16 will headline the precedings and is set for 7:30 p.m. on Saturday night. But events in the ARCA Series, CRAFTSMAN Truck Series and Xfinity Series will highlight Thursday and Friday's festivities from the high-banked, half-mile oval.
Kyle Larson, William Byron and Chase Elliott all enter Saturday's race well above the cutline while Alex Bowman will look to make up 35 points or win the race to send all four Hendrick Motorsports cars to the Round of 12. Meanwhile, Corey Day will make debut at Bristol in the Xfinity Series fresh off his first career top 10 last week at WWT Raceway. He's finished 15th and 18th in two CRAFTSMAN Truck Series events there.
Here's a look at how to watch all the racing this week:
