since all that is on TV is the Michael Vick dogfighting trial, Barry Bonds’ chase for 756, the Phil Spector murder case, and neverending coverage of the party lives of crackwhore Lindsay Lohan and drinker extraordinare Paris Hilton.. let’s see the weekend race schedule. watch something else over the weekend for once, racing is awesome. Or you could also get wasted on Saturday night at a college or a bar or something.

NASCAR – Brickyard 400 at Indy, Busch Series and Craftsman Truck at O’Reilly Raceway Park

NASCAR Craftsman Truck -

Friday: Power Stroke Diesel 200 8:00PM on SPEED (Qualifying at 4:30PM on SPEED)

NASCAR Busch Series -

Saturday: Final Practice 12:30PM on ESPN2, Qualifying at 4:30PM, Kroger 200 at 8:00PM

NASCAR Nextel Cup -

Saturday: Qualifying at 10:00 AM (prime hangover time), HappyHour at 3:30PM, ESPN2
Sunday: Brickyard 400 at 2:00 PM, ESPN (1:00 PM pregame)

Brickyard 400 Preview

Jokingly called the Dickyard 400 by the few homosexual people (have friends who are gay that follow it, but i’m not gay at all) who actually follow NASCAR, this race is one of the best sleep aids of the year for those who don’t like oval racing. If this really was the Dickyard 400, Jeff Gordon or Kasey Kahne would win every time. Personally, I predict Tony Stewart to go for his second win in a row in front of the hometown fans.

Champ Car World Series – Grand Prix of San Jose

Sunday: San Jose Grand Prix: 6:00 PM ESPN2

On after the Brickyard 400, the San Jose Grand Prix is no laughing matter and certainly no pushover. It’s an important race in the schedule as Will Power, Sebastien Bourdais, Justin Wilson, and Robert Doornbos fight for the Vanderbilt Cup. And with Indycar fans having an off weekend (except for Tony George where he gets his wads of cash at the Brickyard to screw over other people), this open wheel race is the one to watch. Wait. Champ Car is always the open wheel series that people should watch. Also this.

NHRA – Fram Autolite Nationals

Sunday: NHRA at Infineon 8:00 ESPN2

It’s been an up and down year for the NHRA and it’s 4 national series. Up because of the racing and getting bought out by equity partners so the series would stay in good stability. Down because of the loss of Eric Medlen as well as the lack of a battle in any of the series (all 4 championship leaders lead by a margin of 100 or more). Ashley Force gets a lot of needed attention for the series though.
