Fresh off last weekend's twilight races from Bristol, NBCSN heads to Wisconsin for NASCAR XFINITY Racing from Road America this Saturday at 3 p.m. ET. Located halfway between Milwaukee and Green Bay, Road America has hosted races since the 1950s, and held its first NASCAR XFINITY race in 2010.

Throughout the weekend, Rick Allen calls the action from the booth alongside 2014 NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Dale Jarrett and former crew chief Frank Stoddard. Kelli Stavast, Mike Massaro and Dave Burns handle coverage trackside from "America's National Park of Speed."

NBCSN's NASCAR coverage from the "Badger State" begins Friday with XFINITY Series practice at 2:30 p.m. ET. NASCAR AMERICA begins at 4 p.m. ET with a special 30-minute edition leading into the XFINITY Series final practice at 4:30 p.m. ET. NBCSN's NASCAR coverage wraps up Friday at 6 p.m. ET with a one hour NASCAR America.

Coverage begins Saturday with XFINITY Series qualifying at 12:15 p.m. ET. Race action begins at 2:30 p.m. ET with Countdown to Green followed by coverage of green-flag racing from Road America at 3 p.m. ET. Throughout the telecast Allen, Jarrett and Stoddard will discuss the challenge of road course racing and take a closer look at the intense showdown from the last two road races at Watkins Glen International and the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The telecast will also take a closer look at the XFINITY Series point standings for the Championship as drivers approach their final 10 races of the season.
