Here’s a television schedule for all of NASCAR’s events leading up to the Daytona 500.

There’s no bigger race and spectacle of the season than the Daytona 500. “The Great American Race” has seen rise to some of the greatest moments in racing history and on Sunday, there exists the chance that there will be even greater memories made.

Not only does winning the big race cement a driver’s legacy, it also locks up a spot in the Chase for them and a spot to compete for the Sprint Cup Championship. Last year, Joey Logano won the Daytona 500 and it launched his career to the next level.

This year, Chase Elliott is on the pole and will be looking to show everyone else on the track why he is the next big thing in NASCAR. The Daytona 500 isn’t the only thing taking place this weekend in NASCAR. On Saturday, the Xfinity Series will begin their season and plenty of the next phase of talent in racing will be competing for glory in Florida.

For those that want to watch the races this weekend, they will take place on FOX and FOX Sports 1. The Xfinity Series race will take place on Fox Sports 1, while Sunday’s Daytona 500 will take place on FOX.
