This weekend NASCAR will be in action at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). The road course event will be the first time any of the sports’ top series have ventured off of a superspeedway this year.
COTA will have a new layout this year. While there will still be 20 turns, NASCAR will now run the 2.3-mile national course instead of the 20-turn 3.41-mile full course. The result means the Cup Series race will now be 27 laps longer as the long straightaways have been removed.
Below fans can find the entire NASCAR weekend schedule for COTA.
