Coca-Cola 600 caps busy NASCAR weekend at Charlotte: A look at the NASCAR schedule this week

Fittingly, on auto racing's biggest weekend, NASCAR is bringing all four of its major touring series to Charlotte Motor Speedway.

It will all culminate with the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday, but prior comes two busy days full of ARCA Menards, Craftsman Truck and Xfinity Series practices, qualifying sessions and races.

The Cup Series is entering the second half of its regular season after an eventful All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sunday night. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. punched Kyle Busch in a postrace altercation and we will see this weekend whether or not those ill tempers carry over. Stenhouse was fined $75,000 and two of his pit crew members were suspended on Wednesday morning.

Currently, eight drivers are locked into the postseason via wins with the final eight spots to be sorted out over the next 13 events.

Here's the schedule for this week in Charlotte with television broadcast assignments:
