First we head to the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as the F1 circus arrives there this weekend. The third sector chicane has been removed after 15 years of use, meaning faster speeds through the sweeping final corner. Spaniard Fernando Alonso will be hoping to continue his run of success with Aston Martin this season. Last weekend, the two-time F1 champion had to settle for second place at the Monaco Grand Prix after a botched tire strategy decision.

The NASCAR Cup Series returns to World Wide Technology Raceway after its debut on the schedule last year. Penske will be looking to maintain its winning form after Ryan Blaney won the Coca-Cola 600 last weekend and Joey Logano took home a victory in the inaugural event last year. The competition will be a bit thinner with Chase Elliott suspended for intentionally wrecking Denny Hamlin in Charlotte.
