It’s hard to believe Daytona Speedweeks is almost over, but we’re now just one day away from the Daytona 500. But before we get there, there’s still some more on-track activity that will take place today.
2011 Daytona 500 Schedule: Looking At The Rest Of The Weekend
This morning at 10:30 local time, the Sprint Cup cars will take to the track for their final practice before the Great American Race. The 90-minute session is somewhat of an unknown, because only 12 cars chose to practice in each of the Friday sessions. How many cars will make laps today? We’re not sure.
Following the Cup practice, the Nationwide Series kicks off its season with a 300-mile race (120 laps around Daytona International Speedway) which begins at 1:15 p.m. Eastern and airs on ESPN. Aside from Danica Mania, some Cup stars such as Dale Earnhardt Jr. are also in the Nationwide race.
Then it’s on to Sunday – Daytona 500 day. The 53rd running of NASCAR’s Super Bowl is scheduled to begin shortly after 1 p.m. Eastern time and will be broadcast on FOX.
