NASCAR Cup Series Round of 8 Playoffs and IMSA Petit Le Mans Highlight NBC Schedule

This week, NBC Sports has two major motorsports events lined up that you won’t want to miss: the opening Round of 8 NASCAR Cup Series Playoff race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and IMSA’s famous Petit Le Mans race from Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta.

First up, NBC Sports will be bringing you live coverage of the NASCAR Cup Series’ Round of 8 playoff race, the South Point 400, this Sunday from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway at 5:30 p.m. ET on USA Network. The pre-race coverage will start at 5 p.m. ET with Countdown to Green. A win at this race secures a spot in the Championship 4 race in Phoenix on Nov. 2, so the stakes are high. Defending Cup Series champion Joey Logano will be looking to defend his title, but he’s currently below the cutline, so it’s sure to be an exciting race to watch. The broadcast team includes veteran motorsports commentators Leigh Diffey, Jeff Burton, and Steve Letarte, with pit reporters Marty Snider, Kim Coon, and Dillon Welch providing the latest updates from the track.

As for the IMSA Petit Le Mans race, NBC will kick off coverage on Saturday at Noon ET, with the final portion of the race exclusively on Peacock. At this 10-hour endurance race, championships will be decided in all four IMSA classes. In the GTD Pro class, the competition is tight, with a slim 18-point difference between the No. 3 Corvette and No. 81 Ferrari. And in the GTP class, Porsche No. 6, Porsche No. 7, and BMW No. 24 are set to battle it out for the drivers title.

Whether you’re a NASCAR fan or a sports car racing enthusiast, NBC Sports has you covered with these two thrilling motorsports events. So mark your calendars and get ready to tune in for some fast-paced and adrenaline-pumping action on the track!
