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 review the date of the race as well as streaming options. 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 using traction compound, and the top 10 finishers in each segment will earn regular-season points. But the race field will be completely rearranged based on Sunday's results. The result is that the second-place finisher from Sunday will start on Wednesday night at the back.
A 1.5-mile oval, four-turn track in Kentucky is now part of NASCAR's short term schedule. The track was added ahead of the 2011 season. From then on, one race is held at the track each year through 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.
Changes at Chicagoland Speedway
Chicagoland Speedway's changes include the demolition of two grandstands, and the construction of new ones. In the past, the speedway was criticised for its rough surface which could scratch trainers and cause race cancellations. New grandstands will have four inches more space than the existing ones. This allows for more legroom. The track will also get rid of its "Mamba" nickname, which was inspired by Kobe Bryant (late Los Angeles Lakers)
The future of Chicagoland Speedway is uncertain. The track has been the setting for many memorable moments in recent decades. Although the track is on the west side of Illinois it was originally planned to host a NASCAR Cup Series event in 2020. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the race. Fans demanded that the track be restored despite the race cancellation.
Race date at Kentucky Speedway
The Quaker State 400, Kentucky Speedway will take places on Sunday, August 16, starting at 2:20 p.m. ET. It is now at an afternoon start time instead of its Saturday night time.

However, lights have been installed at the speedway to make sure that the race can be televised live.
