Weekend Motorsports Roundup: April 6-7, 2013
Welcome to the Jalopnik Weekend Motorsports Roundup, where we let you know what's going on in the world of racing, where you can see it, and talk about it all in one convenient place. Where else would you want to spend your weekend?
Our favorite racing drivers are getting back in the saddle this weekend after last week's break for the Easter holiday. Unless your favorite drivers are Formula One drivers, in which case you have to wait until next week.
Still, there's some great stuff ahead of us this weekend, like NASCAR in Virginia, Indy Car in Alabama, and the season opener for MotoGP in Qatar. One of those locations is not like the other ones.
As always, let us know about anything we might have missed, as well as good racing live streams out there on the web. Happy trails.
