Live-Blogging The NASCAR Weekend In Atlanta

It’s not exactly Hot-lanta, but at least sun is in the forecast for the Kobalt Tools 500 weekend here in Atlanta.

Things are getting off to a bit of a late start today, thanks to night qualifying for Sprint Cup teams. The first driver press conference of the day has just kicked off at 11:45 local time, which is a couple hours later than it would be if qualifying were in the afternoon.

Here’s some of the main events to keep an eye on here this weekend (all times EST):

  • Friday, 2:30 p.m. – Sprint Cup practice
  • Friday, 6:10 p.m. – Sprint Cup qualifying
  • Saturday, 11 a.m. – Sprint Cup practice
  • Saturday, 12:20 p.m. – Final Sprint Cup practice (Happy Hour)
  • Saturday, 2 p.m. – Camping World Truck Series race
  • Sunday, 1 p.m. – Sprint Cup Series race (Kobalt Tools 500)
