What I should do when there's no Cup racing on a particular weekend is get some work done around the house instead of sitting around for hours on end watching racing. But I think what I will do is watch another division of racing...

So even though there is no Cup race, this weekend is the start of the season for the Camping World East Series and I plan on watching. The race is being aired Saturday night on SPEED at 8 p.m. Here's the full schedule. I have my eyes on a few drivers in this division:

-- Austin Dillon, driving the number 3 Garage Equipment Supply car for Andy Santerre Motorsports.
-- Ricky Carmichael, driving the number 4 Monster Energy Drink car for Ken Schrader Racing.
-- Steve Park, driving the number 35 Waste Managment/Recycle America car.

I am sure as the season goes on I will be watching a few others. I'm really unfamiliar with this series but am looking forward to watching and learning this division of racing this year.

And then if I need more of a fix, I can always watch the Corona Mexico 200 on Sunday. The Nationwide race is being held in Mexico and will air on ESPN at 1:30 p.m. My man, Clint Bowyer is on the entry list, so I'll likely try to watch some of it.
