NASCAR Saturday schedule at Bristol Motor Speedway

The Cup and XFinity series are on the track for practice, qualifying and a 300-Round race Saturday, April 12, on Bristol Motor Speedway.

Nearly eight hours of activity on the 0.533-mile oval in Bristol, Tennessee, will begin with Xfinity exercise and qualifying, followed by cup exercise and qualify for Sunday’s 500-Round race.

The XFinity race will start at Bristol shortly after 5pm. This is the first time since June 20020 that the series chased the concrete’s concrete in the spring. The XFINITY entry list will include the 2021 Cup champion Kyle Larson.

Cole Custer won the most recent XFinity race at Bristol last September. The last winner of a Xfinity Spring Race on Bristol was Noah Gragson, who took the checkered flag on June 1, 2020.
