The fact there are TWO Daytona and Atlanta back to back races on this schedule is WILD!

@Adrian the schedule was released a few hours ago

This actually isn’t true lol. The “second” back-to-back is split up by Darlington, the new cut-off race.

If only the Richmond races were replaced with Canada and Rockingham and Atlanta and Nashville were still night races

Yea Nashville two years ago was 3:30pm right as a Storm moved in. If they ran at Noon they would have gotten the race in. That’s why they moved to the night race this year. Thought it let them know “Hey make it a Night Race” but they’ll have to learn again.

I just think Richmond and Bristol need 1 date and would have been cool to get Rockingham on the schedule.

No deposit, but signed up for their update list. Looking to see if I can make some more money before sales go live. And maybe, after the race, I can head to the Field of Dreams if have some extra money/time

two road courses and two superspeedways in the playoffs?… bro michael mcdowell is about to cook‼️

KombatRacer October 4, 2023 at 9:24 pm

Exactly what I was thinking, . unfortunately the Indy RC is gone and you have to assume that Chase Elliott, Ty Gibbs, and Alex Bowman will make the playoffs next year, making the road to pointing his way in that much harder.

Eh..with Atlanta and the Glen in the playoffs and Indy back to the oval, that’s 3 less chances for McDowell to even make it to the playoffs

Honestly, I was hoping that Sonoma would take the auto club date. I hear that it’s beautiful in Northern California at that time of year. And I was pretty surprised to see Watkins Glen in the playoffs for the first time ever. Is it really rainy up in New York at that time? Anybody who lives there can answer that question.
I look forward to cheering on all of the Hendrick Motorsports drivers this season, and at least be in person for one of the races (maybe Kansas or Iowa).

santacruzer October 4, 2023 at 8:55 pm

No it’s rainy in Sonoma in March. That race would’ve been a rain out. They have to have Sonoma between May and October.

Reply
Bob pockrass,ruthless racing media October 4, 2023 at 8:55 pm

I live one hour north of Watkins Glenn and a town in Webster. Down there it’s raining most of the week, even sometimes a whole week. In my opinion it’s kind of a stupid decision to put it in the playoffs if it rains like that I don’t know what’s going to happen.

xXHellJumperzXx October 4, 2023 at 8:57 pm

It can get unusually cold up here in September at like a moments notice and weather in September is random if it’s rainy or not but typically more rainy than the summer

Reply
John Haas October 4, 2023 at 8:58 pm

That was never going to happen Because that’s too rainy of a season in Northern California and all of the parking is on hillside that are not pavement

Reply
Justin October 4, 2023 at 9:00 pm

Sonoma native here, it’s either raining all most of the time or hardly raining at all. With the wet weather package it would probably be a good race tho. Only issue with Sonoma during wet weather is all (maybe one) roads are dirt… so a lot of mud

It’s awesome to see Iowa Speedway on the Cup Series schedule.

Kind of crazy that it was only added as a back-up plan when Montreal fell through, because it’s such an awesome addition. I hope it’s not a one and done thing.

I like how the Round of 16 has essentially turned into a wildcard round of sorts. Not sure about the back to back plate races at the start of the season though

Reply
Trucker Cowboy Ed October 4, 2023 at 8:48 pm

They don’t use plates anymore

Reply
ROGERRRR PENSKEEEEEEEEE! October 4, 2023 at 8:50 pm

@Trucker Cowboy EdI don’t care. At the end of the day, a smaller tapered spacer functions the exact same as a restrictor plate does, and I sure as hell ain’t gonna call them “spacer races”.

Reply
Wolffy Howl October 4, 2023 at 9:46 pm

@Trucker Cowboy Ed idc im still calling them plate races

Reply
Coyotes79 October 5, 2023 at 12:02 am

​@Trucker Cowboy EdYes they do. Tapered spacer is a type of restrictor plate. I always refer to drafting races as plate races rather than Superspeedways because the term Superspeedway only applies to Talladega and Nashville. Daytona and Atlanta are not Superspeedways, they are plate tracks.

Reply
Coyotes79 October 5, 2023 at 12:04 am

​@ROGERRRR PENSKEEEEEEEEE!Don’t listen to that guy lol. All the drivers refer to drafting tracks as plate races since they use tapered spacers which are a type of restrictor plate. Anybody who says otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

Kinda disappointed Pocono got rid of the Saturday Trucks and Xfinity doubleheader. Glad all three series are still there but now on 3 different days. It would be nice if that allowed extra practice time again

Jared Champagne October 4, 2023 at 9:39 pm

Why the hell don’t they allow practice anymore in the first place?

I’m glad the cup series is going to Iowa speedway. I’m born and raised and still live in Iowa been a nascar fan my whole life and I’ve always wanted to see the cup series here at Iowa speedway. Ben Kennedy said yesterday that the Iowa speedway races like an intermediate track so I hope it’s now called the shortest intermediate track instead of the fastest short track in the world

This may be considered a “hot take”, but considering it’s an American sport and literally has the word “National” is part of its name, that every race (and the money it produces for the area) stay in America. I understand wanting to build an audience but you don’t go chasing a hypothetical audience that might be there by alienating the fans you already have. All of entertainment has been doing that the last five years and you can see how well that’s turned out for say Disney Star Wars, Marvel, DC, etc

It’s crazy to think that in the past the first and last race were held at Road courses at different times. Imagine if that happened nowadays

Reply
Pat Nolan October 4, 2023 at 9:29 pm

I would switch Bristol and Texas. Avoid the bad weather in Bristol, add the two Texas races at the end of the west coast swing, and make a short track swing with Richmond, Martinsville, and Bristol. This would give you marketable swings early in the year and saves a ton for the teams in travel costs (if they don’t tear up the equipment).

Two drafting tracks in the playoffs Is really interesting. Can’t wait to see how it plays out.
