RACING (NATIONAL):
• To the south, this is the week for King of the Hammers event. Due to weather they had to hold off for two days.
They also have cross-country motocross but the rest is everything from trucks and buggies. The event runs through February 8.
• Thursday and Friday are pretty empty so go to www.youtube.com and watch events from King of the Hammers. It’s the most insane off-road event you’ll ever see.
•This Saturday the AMA Supercross moves to Glendale, Arizona. Peacock, at 2:30 p.m. has Race Day Live. Then at 5 p.m. the network will air the heats. LCQ’s and the Mains.
• This weekend is when NASCAR begins its 2025 season. This time they are at the Bowman Gray Stadium and race around the football field.
On Saturday, Fox Sports 1 has the Modified race as well as Cup practice and heat races. Sunday everything switches to FOX. It’s going to be a crazy event with Cup cars on such a short track.
