NASCAR COTA Race Schedule_ As NASCAR gears up for the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas, fans are in for a treat with the first road course race of the season. Set to kick off on Sunday, March 24, 2024, at 3:30 pm ET, the event promises high-octane action on FOX and PRN.
The EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix will mark the sixth race of the 2024 NASCAR season and the third outing for the Next Gen car since its debut. Taking on the challenging 3.426-mile road course with its 20 turns and dramatic elevation changes, drivers will face a true test of skill and strategy.
Originally known as the Texas Grand Prix, the event saw Chase Elliott of Hendrick Motorsports clinch victory in its inaugural edition back in 2021. Now, 39 drivers are set to vie for glory over 68 laps, covering a total distance of 231 miles.
Ahead of the main event on Sunday, the action-packed weekend will include practice and qualifying sessions on Saturday, March 23. The EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix weekend will also feature races from the Xfinity Series and Truck Series, making it a thrilling three-day affair.
Tyler Reddick and 23XI Racing will defend their title as the reigning winners of the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix. Last year, they secured a memorable victory, and Reddick will be aiming to make it back-to-back wins come Sunday.
