What channel is NASCAR on today? TV schedule, start time for 2023 Fontana race
The Cup Series heads to the Golden State for the second time in three weeks, with the Pala Casino 400 scheduled to be held at San Bernardino’s Auto Club Speedway.
Last year, Kyle Larson took the checkered flag at the two-mile stretch and traveled a late rally together to reach the 2022 finish.
The D-shaped terrain is not for the faint of heart as it has hosted a number of barnburners since Cup Series racing began in 1997. From Rusty Wallace to Kyle Busch, a slew of NASCAR legends have hit the low bench on the Super Speedway home.
Who will expand the legacy this time? It remains to be seen. One thing is for sure, though: it’s going to be an exciting watch.
