What time does the NASCAR race start today? TV schedule, channel for Sunday’s Pocono race

For anyone who’s asking “What time is the NASCAR race today,” the answer is that it depends on which day you’re inquiring about.

The Cup Series is running a weekend doubleheader at Pocono Raceway: the Pocono Organics CBD 325 on Saturday and the Explore the Pocono Mountains 350 on Sunday. Each race has a different start time, but both will be run in the afternoon.

NASCAR is holding the majority of its 2021 races in the daytime, and the Pocono races are no exception, not least because the 2-mile track does not have lights.

Below is all you need to know about the schedule for the weekend races at Pocono.
