The NASCAR Xfinity Series returns to the oval (well, sorta) on Saturday for the Explore the Pocono Mountains 225 at Pocono Raceway.

Last week, Shane van Gisbergen earned the victory on the Chicago street course in a wild final stage for win No. 3 on the season.

Including Saturday's race at Pocono, there are eight regular season races remaining in the season. There are five drivers in the top 10 of regular season points without a win in 2024, including regular season points leader Cole Custer.

Here's how you can watch Saturday's Xfinity Series race in Pocono:
