Rev up the engines in Sin City, because its a tripleheader NASCAR weekend in Las Vegas, and we tell you how to watch all of the NASCAR racing on TV.
It’s easy to take the first few weeks of any new NASCAR season for granted, because we get three races each weekend. That’s the case once again in Las Vegas, with all three national series making a stop in the entertainment mecca of the west.
The Camping World Truck Series leads things off with the Stratosphere 200 on Friday night, while the NASCAR XFINITY Series follows with the Boyd Gaming 300 on Saturday afternoon. The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series closes the show with the surprisingly non-gaming-related Pennzoil 400 on Sunday afternoon, the first part of the three-race NASCAR Goes West swing.
It’s also only the first of two race weekends at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2018, as the track will host NASCAR again this fall for the first time. Mid-September could be a bit hotter than it will be in March, where temperatures are only expected to be in the 60s or high 50s during the races.

Nevertheless, it’ll be as hot or cold as you want it in front of your own TV, so here are all the channels and times you need to know to catch the trucks and cars in action, courtesy of NASCAR.com.
