NASCAR Race Weekend Schedule for COTA

Trucks & Xfinity on Saturday / #NASCAR Cup on Sunday

 

Circuit of the Americas, better known as COTA, is a Grade 1 FIA-specification 3.426-mile motor racing track and facilities located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Austin, Texas, in the United States.

 

In exactly the kind of thrilling final-lap, final-turn high-action finish NASCAR has so often provided on road courses, Ross Chastain persevered in the EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix to win his first career NASCAR Cup Series race at COTA. Alex Bowman finished the race in second just ahead of third place – Christopher Bell.
