A two-week break for the Summer Olympics provided some challenges to NASCAR in crafting its 2024 Cup Series schedule but also some opportunities.
While the new schedule features just one new venue next year – a June race at Iowa Speedway – there are some significant race date changes that will impact the way the series determines its champion. The biggest changes in the schedule come in the tracks which make up the 10-race playoffs which determine the series champion.
” Shaking up the playoffs Darlington on Labor Day Weekend will now be the final race in which a driver can qualify for the 16-race playoffs and the playoffs will kick off at Atlanta, which now races like a superspeedway. The first round will conclude with Watkins Glen and then Bristol – offering a very tricky opening trio of races.
