The NASCAR Cup Series returns to Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday. This time, though, the track will be covered in clay.

The Cup Series is at Bristol for the Food City Dirt Race after last weekend's Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 went down to the wire at Martinsville.

Last year's Bristol spring race was the first NASCAR Cup Series dirt race since 1970. Joey Logano evaded a few multicar wrecks to earn the win.

Logano fell just short of earning a momentous comeback win at Martinsville. Now, he hopes to rediscover the magic he found on Bristol's clay.

Here is everything you need to know about Sunday's Cup Series race, the Food City Dirt Race, including the start time and TV channel.

Fox Sports will again have coverage of Sunday's race with the broadcast of the Food City Dirt Race at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tenn. After moving to FS1 last weekend for the Blue-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 400 at Martinsville, the Cup Series returns to Fox.

Mike Joy will be on the call for the lap-by-lap action, and he'll be joined by analysts Clint Bowyer and Darrell Waltrip. Fox has been using a rotating set of analysts to replace Jeff Gordon, who is back with Hendrick Motorsports.

Those hoping to stream the race can find it on Fox Sports Go or via fuboTV, which offers a free trial. Viewers in Canada can find the race on TSN.
