RACER's Sunday tune-in guide: Indy 500, F1, NASCAR

The high stakes battle for pole for the 109th Indianapolis 500 concludes today, along with the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix and NASCAR All-Star Race, and lots more to keep racing fans on the sofa instead of doing whatever it is they're supposed to be doing around the house.

Here's your quick guide to making sure you don't miss a single lap. (All times Eastern.)

NTT INDYCAR SERIES

Alex Palou led the way in yesterday's first round of Time Trials, lapping at 233.043mph in his Chip Ganassi Racing Honda to barely edge out the No. 3 Penske Chevy of Scott McLaughlin (233.013mph) and Josef Newgarden’s No. 2 Penske Chevy (233.004mph) and the trio were separated by just 0.039mph after 12 laps and 30 combined miles of qualifying. But two more rounds separate the drivers from pole position – or missing the race altogether.

What times are qualifying? Saturday, Top 12 qualifying, 4:05pm; Last Chance qualifying, 5:15pm; Fast Six qualifying, 6:25pm

What channel is IndyCar qualifying on? FOX, with practice from 1:00-3:00pm on FS2

Where can I stream qualifying? Several streaming services carry FOX, including YouTubeTV, SlingTV and others. See your streaming provider for more details.

NASCAR CUP SERIES

It's the NASCAR All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway, starting with the Open race for Brad Keselowski starts from the pole in the main event. A win in his heat race continues to give Keselowski and his team a boost going into the $1 million race. Christopher Bell will join Keselowski on the front row for the All-Star Race after winning the second heat race. Three spots on the grid remain to be determined, though: Two are reserved for the top two finishers in Sunday’s All-Star Open and another for the winner of the Fan Vote, awarded to the highest vote-getter who didn’t already race into All-Star Race.
