MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES Race & Qualifying, NASCAR XFINITY SERIES Race Live on FOX from NASCAR’s Biggest Circuit

NASCAR RACE CLASSIC: THE 1987 WINSTON 500, Hosted by Earnhardt Jr., Premieres Friday on FS1 at 9:00 PM ET

CHARLOTTE, NC – NASCAR heads to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, with FOX Sports set to offer 22 hours of live action from the 2.66-mile circuit, NASCAR’s largest. Included are FOX’s live race coverage of the MONSTER ENERGY NASCAR CUP SERIES (Sunday, May 7 at 2:00 PM ET) and the NASCAR XFINITY SERIES (Saturday, May 6 at 1:00 PM ET), as well as FS1’s live presentation of the ARCA RACING SERIES race on Friday, May 5 (6:00 PM ET). On Friday, May 5, FS1 and NASCAR Productions debut NASCAR RACE CLASSIC: THE 1987 WINSTON 500, hosted by Dale Earnhardt Jr. The 30-minute cut-down version of the classic race at Talladega Superspeedway, celebrating its 30th anniversary, features pop-up fun facts and trivia about the race and pop culture in 1987. Bobby Allison’s crash in the event, for which Bill Elliott won the pole at the fastest-ever speed recorded in NASCAR at more than 212 mph, ushered in restrictor plates. The race marked Davey Allison’s first career win, which broke Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s four-race win streak. During the week, FS1’s NASCAR RACE HUB, NASCAR’s most-watched daily news and information program, continues Mondays through Thursdays at 6:00 PM ET. Additionally, the NASCAR RACE HUB PODCAST launched recently and is available on iTunes, SoundCloud and Google Play Music.
