Two of NASCAR’s top three series go from one desert to another as ISM Raceway in Phoenix hosts a pair of races this weekend. We tell you how and when to watch.

Triple-headers are a thing of the past for a few weeks, as the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series takes a breather. That still leaves us with two races to enjoy, as ISM Raceway (the facility formerly known as Phoenix Raceway) is the site for all of this weekend’s racing action, leading up to the TicketGuardian 500 on Sunday afternoon.

Despite the penalty he and his No. 4 Stewart-Haas Racing team received this week from NASCAR, Kevin Harvick is still very much the class of the Cup Series garage at the moment. No one had anything for his “Freaky Fast” Ford the last two weeks, and the misery for everyone else may continue as Harvick has historically been awesome at Phoenix, winning the spring and fall races four times each and twice sweeping both events at the track in the same season.

Speaking of domination, Kyle Busch will try to do what he often does when he dips down into the XFINITY Series and win the DC Solar 200 on Saturday. He’s one of a handful of Cup Series competitors who will pull double duty this weekend, including Ty Dillon, Brad Keselowski and Jamie McMurray.

Interestingly, both races are on FOX this weekend, so you only have to tune in FS1 for practice and qualifying and FOX for the laps that matter. Here’s the entire Phoenix TV schedule from ISM Raceway, courtesy of NASCAR.com.
