Hey everyone, it’s your boy back at it again with another deep dive into the wild world of, uh, well, NASCAR today. So, I’ve been getting a ton of questions lately about when the green flag drops for these races, especially with the season heating up. So, I decided to do some digging and, well, here we are.
First off, I went straight to the source, checking out the official NASCAR announcements and schedules. You know, gotta make sure we’re getting the real deal, right? I skimmed through a bunch of articles and official posts. I was looking for that sweet, sweet green flag time. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack sometimes, but hey, that’s what we do for the love of the game.
Key Info I Found
- For the big one, the 2024 NASCAR Cup Series Championship, I found out it’s going down on Sunday, November 10th, 2024. And the green flag? That bad boy is scheduled to wave at 3:31 p.m. ET. Yeah, you heard that right. But the command to start engines will be given at 3:22 p.m, so maybe that’s the time to tune in to get ready.
- I also dug up some deets on another race, the South Point 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Mark your calendars for Sunday, October 20, because the green flag is waving at approximately 2:49 pm ET. I think there is a discrepancy with the central time in another place, it is about 1:30 p.m. CT.
- Then there was something about the Enjoy Illinois 300. Coverage for that one starts at 3:30 p.m. ET, and it apparently aired on FS1. Don’t have much more on that, but hey, it’s something.
- And for those keeping track, the Coke Zero 400 has a listed start time of 7 p.m. ET. No exact green flag time, but that’s your heads up.
After gathering all this, I started piecing it together, you know, trying to make sense of all these times. I cross-referenced everything, double-checked dates, and even looked at some past races to see if there were any patterns. It was a bit of a mess, honestly, but we got there.
So, there you have it. A kinda sorta comprehensive guide to when you can expect to see that green flag wave. Remember, these times can change, so always double-check before you settle in for the race. Keep it fast, keep it loud, and I’ll see you at the next race!
