In addition to the MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES’ 600-miler, included in FOX Sports’ Memorial Day Weekend line-up are Saturday’s NASCAR XFINITY SERIES race (1:00 PM ET on FS1) and Thursday’s ARCA RACING SERIES event (9:00 PM ET on FS1). 1,500th EPISODE OF NASCAR RACE HUB AIRS TUESDAY: NASCAR RACE HUB, NASCAR’s most-watched daily news program, celebrates its 1,500th episode Tuesday, May 22 (6:00 PM ET on FS1). With the milestone edition, RACE HUB extends its reign as the active FOX Sports program credited with more episodes than any other currently running across the FOX Sports family of national networks. Tuesday’s installment will feature a retrospective of the best and most entertaining moments from FOX NASCAR’s flagship program over the past decade. It will be the 224th episode to air on FS1, while 1,276 installments aired on SPEED prior to the Aug. 2013 FS1 launch. The first episode of NASCAR RACE HUB premiered Oct. 12, 2009, on SPEED, co-hosted by Adam Alexander and Krista Voda. FOX SPORTS REMEMBERS: FOX NASCAR once again honors American service members who have fallen in the past year with “FOX Sports Remembers” during the May 27 MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES race broadcast from Charlotte. The tribute, begun in 2009, features a running scroll listing the name of every U.S. service member who lost his or her life at home or abroad since last year’s Memorial Day Weekend race. The scroll runs throughout the MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP PRE-RACE, beginning at 5:30 PM ET on FOX, and is shown in its entirety at least once during the race broadcast. NASCAR RACE HUB SPECIAL AIRS ON TUESDAY: Tuesday’s NASCAR RACE HUB will be a “600 Winner’s Roundtable” edition. On the day marking the 1,500th episode of NASCAR RACE HUB, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Darrell Waltrip, Austin Dillon and Casey Mears gather on the set alongside Alexander and Spake to share their perspectives on why NASCAR’s longest race is so iconic, their individual feats and favorite memories in the 600. RAIL CAM: Following a successful test earlier this season at Auto Club Speedway, FOX Sports will deploy a Mega Trax 500 robotic “Rail Cam” for NASCAR’s iconic Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Sunday, May 27 (6:00 PM ET, FOX). For a look at footage from the Fontana test: https://www.mega-trax.com/videos/ FOX Sports and Mega Trax will construct about 850 feet of rail behind the inside wall on the backstretch at Charlotte Motor Speedway. With near-silent operation, the FOX Sports Rail Cam accelerates from 0-to-60 mph in about three seconds, topping out at speeds in excess of 90 mph.
