From traditional television networks to FloRacing, Track TV and YouTube, fans can spend nearly every night of the weekend watching something go fast.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the RacingJunk guide to some of the biggest events worth putting on the watch list for September 11-13, 2026.<\/p>\n<h3>World 100 Takes Center Stage on FloRacing<\/h3>\n<p>If there is one event that should be at the top of the list for grassroots racing fans, it is the 56th World 100 at Eldora Speedway.<\/p>\n<p>The crown jewel Dirt Late Model event is taking place Thursday through Saturday at Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio, with the entire event streaming live on FloRacing. The weekend culminates with the 100-lap, $100,000-to-win World 100 on Saturday night. The field has once again surpassed 100 entries, making this one of the deepest Dirt Late Model fields of the season.<\/p>\n<p>For fans who love big-track dirt racing, this is about as good as it gets. The preliminary nights build toward Saturday&#8217;s massive finale, with some of the biggest names in Dirt Late Model racing battling for one of the most prestigious trophies in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>Watch: FloRacing<br \/>\nWhen: Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 10-12<br \/>\nMust-watch: Saturday&#8217;s 100-lap World 100 finale<\/p>\n<h3>High Limit Racing&#8217;s Tuscarora 50<\/h3>\n<p>While the World 100 is taking over Eldora, High Limit Racing is bringing its own brand of high-powered sprint car racing to Port Royal Speedway for the Tuscarora 50.<\/p>\n<p>The event is another major attraction on FloRacing&#8217;s schedule this week, giving fans an opportunity to bounce between two of the biggest dirt-racing events happening simultaneously. FloRacing&#8217;s weekend schedule also includes USAC, CARS Tour and numerous regional events.<\/p>\n<p>For sprint car fans, Port Royal should be one of the stops on the weekend viewing schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Watch: FloRacing<br \/>\nWhen: This week, including the Tuscarora 50 finale<\/p>\n<h3>NASCAR Heads to World Wide Technology Raceway<\/h3>\n<p>The NASCAR Cup Series heads to World Wide Technology Raceway Sunday for the Enjoy Illinois 300.<\/p>\n<p>The race is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET Sunday and will be televised on USA Network. It is another important stop in the NASCAR Cup Series postseason, while Saturday night features the NASCAR O&#8217;Reilly Auto Parts Series Nu Way 225 at Gateway at 7:30 p.m. ET on The CW.<\/p>\n<p>That makes Gateway one of the best doubleheaders of the weekend for stock-car fans. The Saturday night O&#8217;Reilly Series race offers a different style of racing before the Cup Series takes over Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Watch: The CW \u2014 O&#8217;Reilly Series; USA Network \u2014 Cup Series<br \/>\nWhen: Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET and Sunday at 3 p.m. ET<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don&#8217;t Forget the Grassroots Action<\/h2>\n<p>One of the biggest changes in motorsports viewing over the past several years is how much quality racing is now available outside traditional television.<\/p>\n<p>This weekend is another great example.<\/p>\n<p>FloRacing&#8217;s Sept. 7-13 schedule includes the CARS Tour at Tri-County, Super Late Models at Berlin Raceway, the NASCAR Youth Series, USAC racing and numerous regional dirt-track events.<\/p>\n<p>That means fans can move from the World 100 at Eldora to a CARS Tour race, then jump into a regional Late Model or sprint car event without ever leaving the streaming world.<\/p>\n<p>For the hardcore racing fan, these events are often just as compelling as the nationally televised shows because they showcase the drivers, cars and tracks that make up the backbone of American motorsports.<\/p>\n<h3>Track TV Brings Short-Track Racing to the Screen<\/h3>\n<p>Track TV also has several events worth checking out this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The platform&#8217;s current schedule includes CRA Pro Series coverage from Berlin Raceway Friday night, with the Battle of the Pros 100 among the featured events. Track TV also lists the CRA Pro Series event at Owosso Speedway for Saturday, Sept. 12.<\/p>\n<p>This is precisely the type of racing that can get overlooked when the major national series dominate the television schedule.<\/p>\n<p>Track TV&#8217;s lineup includes CRA, ASA and other short-track programming, making it a particularly useful destination for fans looking beyond NASCAR&#8217;s national series.<\/p>\n<h3>IMCA Super Nationals Is Another Streaming Destination<\/h3>\n<p>For fans who prefer their racing a little closer to the grassroots, the IMCA Super Nationals is another event to watch.<\/p>\n<p>The SPEED SPORT\/IMCA.TV schedule lists live coverage from Boone Speedway throughout the week, including Saturday afternoon action, as well as other IMCA events.<\/p>\n<p>The Super Nationals are always one of the most diverse racing gatherings in the country, bringing together racers from across the country and a huge variety of grassroots classes.<\/p>\n<h3>YouTube: Don&#8217;t Overlook Free Racing<\/h3>\n<p>YouTube has become one of the most important places to find motorsports, particularly for fans of drag racing, local short tracks and specialty events.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage is simple: a television subscription isn&#8217;t always required.<\/p>\n<p>Series and promoters increasingly use their own YouTube channels to stream races, provide qualifying coverage, post highlights and offer complete replays. MotormaniaTV, for example, is seemingly always streaming an event any given weekend.<\/p>\n<p>For fans looking for something to watch after the major television races finish, it is worth searching YouTube for the individual track or series name. Local promoters frequently announce livestreams through their social channels shortly before race time.<\/p>\n<h3>RacerTV Remains a Good Resource for Off-Road Fans<\/h3>\n<p>RacerTV is another platform worth keeping in the rotation, particularly for fans of motocross, GNCC and off-road racing.<\/p>\n<p>The platform maintains extensive live-racing archives and coverage of GNCC ATV and motorcycle competition, although its current live schedule is more limited than some of the newer streaming platforms.<\/p>\n<p>That makes RacerTV particularly useful when looking for replays, archived races and off-road content rather than relying exclusively on the weekend&#8217;s biggest live events.<\/p>\n<h3>The Best Weekend for Racing Fans May Be on the Internet<\/h3>\n<p>The traditional television schedule remains important, but weekends like this demonstrate just how much motorsports has changed.<\/p>\n<p>A fan can watch NASCAR on USA and The CW, then switch to FloRacing for the World 100 or High Limit Racing, check Track TV for short-track action and finish the night searching YouTube for a local drag race or specialty event.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s really the best part.<\/p>\n<p>Motorsports streaming has made it possible to follow far more than just the biggest national series. Dirt Late Models, sprint cars, CARS Tour competitors, short-track Late Models, modifieds, drag racers and off-road competitors now have avenues to reach fans that didn&#8217;t exist a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>For RacingJunk readers, that means the weekend&#8217;s best racing isn&#8217;t necessarily the race with the biggest television audience.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, it&#8217;s the one happening at a short track 500 miles away \u2014 and now, there&#8217;s a very good chance you can watch it from your couch.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>RacingJunk Weekend Watch List<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>World 100 \u2014 Eldora Speedway: FloRacing, Sept. 10-12<br \/>\nHigh Limit Racing Tuscarora 50 \u2014 Port Royal Speedway: FloRacing<br \/>\nNASCAR O&#8217;Reilly Auto Parts Series \u2014 Gateway: Saturday, 7:30 p.m. ET, The CW<br \/>\nNASCAR Cup Series \u2014 Gateway: Sunday, 3 p.m. ET, USA Network<br \/>\nCARS Tour \u2014 Tri-County: FloRacing<br \/>\nCRA Pro Series \u2014 Berlin Raceway: Track TV, Friday<br \/>\nCRA Pro Series \u2014 Owosso Speedway: Track TV, Saturday<br \/>\nIMCA Super Nationals: Track TV\/SPEED SPORT TV coverage<br \/>\nGrassroots and specialty racing: YouTube \u2014 check individual series and track channels for live coverage and replays.<\/p>\n<p>The bottom line: If you are a racing fan, you may want to clear some space on the DVR \u2014 and keep the streaming apps handy. This weekend has enough racing to keep virtually every type of motorsports fan occupied from Thursday night through Sunday evening.<\/p>\n<h3>A Look Ahead to Next Week<\/h3>\n<p>A notable event will be live-streamed on the internet all week long next week, so reschedule those doctors appointments and come up with a handful of solid excuses as to why productivity is lacking. <strong>Hot Rod Drag Week 2026<\/strong> kicks off Monday, September 14 at Joliet Route 66 Dragway. You can count on an entertaining week as this year&#8217;s event (streamed daily on YouTube) takes you across some crown-jewel dragstrips across the Upper-Midwest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>From the World 100 at Eldora to NASCAR at Gateway and a loaded slate of grassroots racing, there is no shortage of motorsports to watch this weekend.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":109,"featured_media":107348,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3470,5029],"tags":[13598,13597],"class_list":["post-107346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-racing","tag-weekly-racing","tag-what-to-watch"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Lead-Image-Streaming-Guide-9.11.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p42YSK-rVo","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/109"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=107346"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":107362,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/107346\/revisions\/107362"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/107348"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=107346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=107346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.racingjunk.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=107346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
