The short-term NASCAR schedule has been announced, with changes made at Chicagoland Speedway and Kentucky Speedway. We will also look at the date of the race and streaming options for this event. This article originally published on September 29, 2020 at 6:02 PM. It has been decided that the Kentucky Speedway will not host NASCAR races. This decision was met with much 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 with traction compound last year. Each segment's top 10 finishers will be awarded regular-season points. But the race field will be completely rearranged based on Sunday's results. Therefore, the race field will be rearranged so that Sunday's winner will start at the end of the field Wednesday night.
A 1.5-mile oval, four-turn track in Kentucky is now part of NASCAR's short term schedule. This track was added to the NASCAR schedule in advance of the 2011 season. One race will be held at the track every year until 2020. In the meantime, Indianapolis Motor Speedway will add a single-race weekend.
Chicagoland Speedway - Changes
Chicagoland Speedway's changes include the demolition of two grandstands, and the construction of new ones. The hard surface of the speedway, which opened in 2001 has been criticized for scratching trainers and cancelling races. The new grandstands are four inches wider than their predecessors, which will allow for more leg space. The track's "Mamba" name will be dropped, since it was named in honor of late Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant.
The future prospects of Chicagoland Speedway are uncertain. The track has been the setting for many memorable moments in recent decades. Although the track is located on Illinois's western side, it was originally set to host a NASCAR Cup Series Race in the summer 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the cancellation of this race. Fans were still calling for the track to reopen despite the race being cancelled.
Kentucky Speedway Race Day
The Quaker State 400 at Kentucky Speedway will take place on Sunday, July 16, starting at 2:30 p.m. ET. It has moved from its original Saturday night start time to an afternoon time. This will allow fans to catch it without having to rush to work and school. The race has been postponed twice due to rain delays and lightning, but the speedway is equipped with lights to ensure that the race is televised live.
The track has a restricted capacity for racing. You can reserve your Richard Petty Driving Experience if you wish to participate. NASCAR Experiences are also available at the speedway. This will only be available for a few people. You will need to make reservations in advance to avoid disappointment. However, there are plenty of other things you can do in preparation for the race.
Kentucky Speedway offers streaming options
It is important to understand what streaming options are available when the NASCAR Cup Series races are held in Kentucky. The race was broadcast on Saturday evening, but due to competing events, the series changed the date. The race is now available on Sunday afternoon. This race originally aired on NBCSN, FS1 and NBCSN. However, a coronavirus forced the series to change the broadcast time to Sunday afternoon. This means that viewers have many options to view the race.

How To
How do you start racing in another place?
First, find a club in your area where you can practice and compete. Driving in foreign countries can prove difficult due to different laws. Some countries, for example, prohibit drivers from taking overtaking at any location on the road. Some countries restrict overtaking to entering a circle.
