The NASCAR Cup Series season continues this weekend in California with the first leg of an early-season west coast swing. For the first time since 2020, Auto Club Speedway will host the Wise Power 400 on Sunday afternoon. After a jam-packed Daytona 500 week of racing to begin the season, this week’s NASCAR TV schedule is more in line with what fans can expect for the majority of races. The NASCAR TV schedule consists of one practice session, a qualifying session and then the Wise Power 400 race itself.
It should also be noted that this week’s action features only the NASCAR Cup Series and the NASCAR Xfinity Series. The trucks and ARCA Menards Series each have an early open date after their season-openers at Daytona. The high speeds will continue this week on the wide surface of Auto Club Speedway. Expect racing action to eclipse 180 MPH with regularity throughout the weekend.
The following outlines the complete NASCAR TV schedule and race breakdowns for the Wise Power 400 at Auto Club Speedway. It will continue to be updated to show the NASCAR race today.
