It’s Saturday night racing at Talladega Superspeedway!

Wait, Talladega doesn’t have lights.

Then again, anything is possible in the digital world.

The virtual Talladega NASCAR weekend begins with Saturday Night Thunder. This is the third Saturday Night Thunder event. Logan Seavey won at virtual Bristol. Josh Berry won last weekend at virtual Richmond.

Tonight’s event will be run with digital Xfinity Series cars. The event is open to Xfinity, Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series, ARCA Menards Series, NASCAR Peak Mexico Series, Pinty’s Series and Whelen Euro Series drivers.

Among those scheduled to run is Truck Series racer Brett Moffitt, who broke both legs in a motocross bike accident last month.

Today’s event is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET.

FORMAT: Two-lap, single-car qualifying will set heat race grids. There will be two 10-lap heats. The top-20 finishers from each heat advance to the feature event. Drivers are allowed one fast reset to repair damage in the heat races. There will be no cautions in the heat races.

FEATURE RACE: The feature is scheduled to have 40 cars and be 57 laps. Drivers are allowed one fast reset to repair damage. There will be up to three attempts at a green/white/checkered finish.

ONLINE: Watch at eNASCAR.com/live and on NASCAR’s YouTube Channel.
