Xfinity 500 NASCAR Race: Every Way to Watch the 2024 Playoffs Live Without Cable

By

The NASCAR playoffs are reaching their conclusion with my next stop at Martinsville Speedway in Ridgeway, Virginia, for the Xfinity 500 (not to be confused with the Xfinity Series). As a short track race, I’m looking forward to this final Round of 8 event, which gets underway Sunday, October 30th at on NBC.

In a hurry? You can watch it all on NBC with FuboTV.

Kyle Larson won the Dixie Vodka 400 last weekend but he’s not in contention for the championship. The big news is Ross Chastain’s second consecutive second-place finish, which puts him right on the heels of Joey Logano.

Alex Bowman would be the returning champion, but he was taken out of contention due to an injury sustained at the Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 on September 25th.

The top five drivers are all in a good position to join the Championship 4. It would be hard for the bottom three drivers although Ryan Blaney could do logging his first win this season.

Here are all the details for this weekend’s Xfinity 500:

  • Dates: Saturday, October 29th and Sunday, October 30th
  • Events:
    • Sat Oct 29 : Practice (USA)
    • Sat Oct 29 : Qualifying (USA)
    • Sun Oct 30 : Xfinity 500 (NBC)
  • Channel: NBC, USA
  • Live Stream: PeacockTV.com, USANetwork.com, Peacock App, USA App, Live TV Streaming Apps
