It'll be another busy racing weekend for your gearheads. the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, NASCAR and somewhat of a doubleheader for NHRA takes place.

Le Mans will have a lot of eyeballs, particularly from NASCAR fans, as we'll see the long-awaited debut of the "Garage 56" part-stock car and part-sports car that NASCAR is bringing to the event. The car will be in a class of its own, but the key will be for drivers Jimmie Johnson, Jenson Button and Mike Rockenfeller to log as many laps and collect as much data as they possibly can.

NHRA will have a unique event as its racing at Thunder Valley, aka Bristol Dragway, right across the street from the famed Bristol Motor Speedway for the Thunder Valley Nationals.

But, and here's where the doubleheader comes in: NHRA was unable to run the final eliminations of the New England Nationals in Epping, N.H., this past weekend due to ongoing rain.

As a result, fans heading to Thunder Valley will get to see essentially two races in one.

But wait! There will also be a third race at Bristol -- essentially a race within a race within another race -- with the #2Fast2Tasty competition.

Fans heading to Thunder Valley will definitely get their money's worth this weekend, for sure!

And let's not forget NASCAR, which travels out west to Sonoma for what is likely to be yet another exciting road course race.

So without further adieu, here's this weekend's racing schedule from AutoRacingDigest.com:
