NASCAR’s new era is upon us.
With the ringing in of a new year, it’s now officially the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. The 59th annual Daytona 500 will be held Feb. 26 and will be the first race under Monster Energy’s sponsorship of the premier series.
There are a few changes on the schedule for this season.
The fall race at Kansas Speedway has been swapped with the race at Talladega Superspeedway. It makes Kansas the final race of the second round of the Chase.
Other changes include the spring Texas Motor Speedway race moving to a Sunday afternoon event from Saturday night; Dover International Speedway’s first race of the season will be held in June instead of May, a week after the Coca-Cola 600; and Michigan International Speedway’s second race moves back into its traditional early August spot.
