Major changes are here for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season as the playoff system is no more.<\/p>\n

NASCAR is ditching the elimination-style playoff and returning to The Chase with slight tweaks to the format that was previously in place from 2003 to 2014.\u00a0<\/p>\n

NASCAR fans will be familiar with The Chase format with a few slight tweaks:<\/p>\n

Top-16 drivers qualify for the The Chase and its all based on points. No longer will one win guarantee an automatic playoff spot.Wins are now worth 55 points, a 15-point increase from the previous points system. Points for all other positions remain the same.Points reset for the Chase field. Top seeds will start The Chase with 2,100 points, 2,075 for the second seed and 2,065 for the third, with a five-point drop for every seed thereafter.\u00a0The Chase is 10 races with the series champion determined by final points.\\<\/p>\n

The Daytona 500 is the first of 36 points races on the calendar. Defending Cup Series champion Kyle Larson \u2014 who finished just 20th in last year’s Daytona 500 \u2014 is looking to become the first back-to-back champion since Jimmie Johnson won five straight titles from 2006 to 2010.<\/p>\n

To make following the action and planning your weekends accordingly easier, we put together a handy printable one-page schedule with dates, times, TV channels and ticket information for every race on the 2024 calendar.<\/p>\n
