BIG RACING WEEKEND

I know it’s Memorial Day weekend (that came up fast, eh?), but Monday is Memorial Day and Sunday is race day no matter what kind of auto racing you like.

The Indy 500 kicks off at 1300 (EST) on Channel 7 (ABC).

The crown jewel in the Formula 1 season, famed and fah-bu-luss Monte Carlo, goes off at 1230 (EST) on Channel 2 (CBS). The race starts at 0800 EST, but I can’t find anyone covering it live. Oh well, I’ll have to get my clicker finger warmed up.

NASCAR’s Coca Cola 600 kicks off at 1700 on Channel 5 (FOX). As far as I know, there will be no double-duty racing this year, since neither Tony Stewart or Robby Gordon are racing at Indy. The reason is that IRL moved the start time for the 500 up two hours.
