The weekend will feature two of the national NASCAR series, as well as the ARCA Menards Series. Two of these series will race on Saturday as part of a doubleheader. The Cup Series teams will then cap off the weekend with Sunday's race.
Chris Buescher will have an opportunity to win at the intermediate track two years after losing to Kyle Larson by 0.001 seconds. He will also return to the track where he ignited a prank war by stealing a rental car door from teammate Ryan Preece.
