NBC Sports Presents NASCAR XFINITY SERIES RACING from Road America This Sunday

NBC Sports Group moves into its ninth week of live 2017 XFINITY Series racing, with seven hours of trackside coverage from Road America, in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. XFINITY Series race coverage, from the legendary four-mile road course, begins Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on NBC.

With the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series on an off week, all eyes are on the XFINITY Series this weekend. With four regular season races to go, three drivers William Byron, Justin Allgaier and Ryan Reed, have clinched their place in the XFINITY Series Playoffs, by virtue of a win. XFINITY Series points leader Elliott Sadler officially earned a spot this past Friday night at Bristol Motor Speedway, garnering enough points to guarantee his position in the Playoffs. Eight drivers currently hold the remaining spots based on points, but have yet to guarantee their positions.

In addition to live television coverage on NBCSN, NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app - NBC Sports Group's live streaming product for desktops, mobile devices, tablets, and connected TVs - will provide comprehensive streaming coverage of this weekend's NASCAR action.
