What's On Tonight (Saturday): Zoom zoom

CW NASCAR Xfinity Series

And they never came back! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, October 25!

Our Top Pick tonight is CW NASCAR Xfinity Series (The CW, 7:30 p.m.). Some people love the thrill that comes from watching fast cars go in circles, so this one is for them. I'm not one of those people.

Elsewhere, 48 Hours answers an old murder, Waxahatchee goes to the Limits, baseball begins its world's best, and Paula Poundstone has News.
