NASCAR COTA race 2024: Start time, TV, streaming, lineup for EchoPark Automotive Grand Prix

NASCAR holds its first road-course race of the 2024 season this weekend as the series arrives at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas.

This marks the fourth consecutive year the Cup Series has raced at COTA, which also hosts Formula 1’s United States Grand Prix in the fall.

There have been three different winners at COTA – Chase Elliott in 2021, Ross Chastain in 2022 and Tyler Reddick in 2023 – but it has been a particularly good track for Chastain, who has finished in the top five of all three races. Elliott and Reddick have scored top-five finishes in two of three races, as has Alex Bowman, who finished second in 2022 and third last season.
