Welcome to Jalopnik's weekly How to Watch racing television and streaming guide, where we catch you up on the recent events of the racing world and let you know how to watch all the major events of the upcoming weekend. The Formula 1 season will reach its midpoint in Hungary, IndyCar is delivering a double dose of short oval action in Iowa, and NASCAR is heading to Pocono's tricky triangle.

The Formula One grid will look slightly different when the weekend starts in Budapest. Daniel Ricciardo will be making his return to front-line action with Scuderia AlphaTauri after the team parted ways with rookie Nyck de Vries.

Only six races remain before the NASCAR Cup Series Playoffs begin. Race victories are becoming increasingly valuable for drivers without enough points to secure a playoff berth, like Hendrick Motorsports driver Chase Elliott. The 2020 champion has five top-five finishes this season but missed six races after breaking his leg in a snowboarding accident and was suspended for one race after deliberately wrecking Denny Hamlin. Elliott must win to make the playoffs.
