NASCAR TV Schedule: How to Watch Every Race at Texas

The beauty of NASCAR is that a couple of times each month, fans get to enjoy a tripleheader weekend. In all its beauty, Texas Motor Speedway will host just that with the Wurth 400 being the flagship event on Sunday.

Friday night, the Truck Series will have "Truck Night in America," or so the name has been hailed online. Saturday, the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series will go green midday. In between, practice and qualifying sessions will be held to set the field and help predict the race winners. The following aims to help guide how to watch each practice session, qualifying session, and race on the appropriate airwaves.
