How to watch IndyCar, NASCAR, Rally Sweden and everything else in racing this weekend; February 25-27
Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what’s going on in the racing world, where you can see it and where you can talk about it, all in one convenient place. Where else would you like to spend your weekend?
Well, the 2022 racing season is underway. Sure, it’s more important shit happening all over the world right now, but I guess it’s good to have something to keep our minds busy during these times that continue to be unparalleled. Race fans actually have something to look forward to this weekend, as there are some pretty good races going on on both coasts. Away in California, the NASCAR field goes back to Los Angeles, but this time to set up a much larger race track. And down in Florida (not Russia), the IndyCar network will be set up on the streets of St. Petersburg for the first time this year. Petersburg. Oh, and some weird hybrids will go fast in the woods somewhere in Europe, I guess?
