The NASCAR schedule for the short term has been released, with some changes at Kentucky Speedway and 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. The result is that the second-place finisher from Sunday will start on Wednesday night at the back.
The new additions to NASCAR's short-term schedule include a four-turn, 1.5-mile oval in Kentucky. The track was added in 2011 ahead of the 2011 season. There will be one race there each year from 2020 onwards. 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 will make two grandstands redundant and build new ones. Since opening in 2001, the speedway has been criticised for its hard surface that was susceptible to scratching runners and causing race cancellations. The new grandstands have a four inch wider base than the previous ones. This gives more leg room. The track will also drop its "Mamba" name, as it was named after late Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant.
The future prospects of Chicagoland Speedway are uncertain. The track has seen many memorable moments in recent years. 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. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, the race was cancelled. Despite the race-cancellation, fans have been calling for the track to be restored.
Kentucky Speedway - Race date
The Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway takes place Sunday, July 16, at 2:30 p.m. ET. It is now at an afternoon start time instead of its Saturday night time. Fans will be able to catch the race from their home without having to rush to get to work or school. The race was postponed twice because of lightning strikes and rain delays, but the speedway is fitted with lights so that it can be televised live.
The track has a limited capacity for racing. Register now to be a Richard Petty Driving Experience participant. NASCAR Experiences at the speedway are also available. However, this will be a limited opportunity. To avoid disappointment, you will have to make your reservation well in advance. However, there are plenty of other things you can do in preparation for the race.

This gives them an edge over other racers because they can easily overtake others at high speed and then pull away from them when they're not looking.
Most of the fastest cars are very light. This allows them accelerate quickly and gain speed. However, they also have less power. This limits their ability to travel far in a relatively short time. They must make use of their energy efficiently.
Engines power most modern-day racing cars. These are similar to those found in normal passenger vehicles. These engines run on compressed gas instead of petrol. This is because petrol isn’t strong enough to make a car go fast.
