The NASCAR schedule for short-term racing has been revealed, with minor changes being made at Kentucky Speedway as well as Chicagoland Speedway. We will also look at the date of the race and streaming options for this event. This article was first published on September 29, 2019, at 6:02pm. The Kentucky Speedway will no longer host NASCAR races, a decision that has been made with a great deal of controversy.
NASCAR's short-term schedule
Fans will enjoy a lot of action on Sunday as the race is held at Darlington Speedway. The track was prepared last year with the traction compound. Regular-season points will be given to the top 10 finishers of each segment. But the race field will be completely rearranged based on Sunday's results. So, on Wednesday night, the field will be reversed and the first place finisher on Sunday will begin at the rear of the field.
A 1.5-mile oval, four-turn track in Kentucky is now part of NASCAR's short term schedule. The track was included in the 2011 NASCAR season. It will host one race every year starting in 2020. Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which has held the Brickyard 400 for 18 years, is now adding a single-race weekend to its schedule.
Chicagoland Speedway: Changes
Chicagoland Speedway's changes include the demolition of two grandstands, and the construction of new ones. The speedway, which opened in 2001, has been criticized in the past for its hard surface, which was prone to scratching trainers and race cancellations. The new grandstands will measure four inches wider that the old ones. This will give more room for your legs. The track will also lose its "Mamba", which is named after Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Chicagoland Speedway's future is in doubt. The track has been the site of many memorable moments in recent times. While the venue is located on the western side of Illinois, it was originally scheduled to host a NASCAR Cup Series race in the summer of 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation of this race. Fans are calling for the track restoration, despite its cancellation.
Kentucky Speedway - Race date
The Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway takes place Sunday, July 16, at 2:30 p.m. ET. It moved from its original Saturday evening start time to an after-hours time. This will allow fans to catch it without having to rush to work and school. Although the race was delayed twice by lightning and rain, the speedway has lights that will allow the race to be televised live.
The track only has a small racing capacity. Make reservations if you want to take part Richard Petty Driving Experience. NASCAR Experiences at the speedway are also available. But this is a very limited offer. To avoid disappointment, it is best to reserve your place in advance. You can still prepare for the race by doing other things.
