The NASCAR Truck Series and Xfinity Series raced at Rockingham Speedway Friday and Saturday. But with Sunday being Easter, the Cup Series will rest.

No, NASCAR does not always take Easter off. The NASCAR Cup Series has raced on Easter Sunday 14 times, including the last three years before taking this year off. Denny Hamlin won last year's race on Easter Sunday at Richmond International Raceway. The races in 2022-23 were dirt races at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Rockingham’s special weekend naturally prompted the idea of a Cup race: “It’s a process. But we are on the radar.”
