NASCAR's 2026 schedule shake-up: New street race, Chicagoland's return, and more
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR in 2026 will race on a new street course in San Diego, return Chicagoland Speedway to the schedule, move the All-Star race to Dover, Delaware, and end its 38-race season back at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The schedule released Wednesday includes two off weekends on a calendar that stretches from February to November. It begins with the exhibition Clash on Feb. 1 at Bowman-Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem for the second consecutive year, with the season-opening Daytona 500 to follow on Feb. 15. The season ends Nov. 8 in Florida at Homestead, which hosted the championship-deciding finale for 18 consecutive years before NASCAR shifted it to Phoenix Raceway in 2020. The race at Phoenix was given a different date in the playoffs and NASCAR is expected to rotate the season finale to various venues in ensuing years. Chicagoland is reopening after a six-year hiatus and a switch back to the track located in suburban Joliet after three seasons on a temporary street circuit in downtown Chicago. The San Diego event will be held on a military base in Coronado. To add Chicagoland and San Diego, NASCAR dropped the Chicago street race and will not return to Mexico City, where it held the first international Cup Series points race since the 1950s. A return to Mexico City in 2026 became difficult to schedule because of soccer's World Cup. NASCAR also moved Watkins Glen in New York from its traditional August date to Mother's Day weekend and the all-star race from North Wilkesboro, North Carolina, to Dover so that North Wilkesboro will be a points-paying Cup race, and New Hampshire lost its playoff race to become the penultimate race of the regular season. There also are two off weekends after just one this season, which ends with 28 straight races. Feb. 1 — Clash at Bowman Gray Stadium Feb. 15 — Daytona 500 Feb. 22 — Atlanta March 1 — Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas March 8 — Phoenix March 15 — Las Vegas March 22 — Darlington, South Carolina March 29 — Martinsville, Virginia April 5 — off weekend April 12 — Bristol, Tennessee April 19 — Kansas April 26 — Talladega, Alabama May 3 — Texas May 10 — Watkins Glen May 17 — All-Star Race (Dover) May 24 — Coca-Cola 600 (Charlotte) May 31 — Nashville, Tennessee June 7 — Michigan June 14 — Pocono in Long Pond, Pennsylvania June 21 — San Diego June 28 — Sonoma, California July 5 — Chicagoland July 12 — Atlanta July 19 — North Wilkesboro July 26 — Brickyard 400 (Indianapolis) Aug. 2 — off weekend Aug. 9 — Iowa Aug. 15 — Richmond, Virginia Aug. 23 — New Hampshire Aug. 29 — Daytona, Florida Sept. 6 — Darlington Sept. 13 — Gateway in Madison, Illinois Sept. 19 — Bristol Sept. 27 — Kansas Oct. 4 — Las Vegas Oct. 11 — Charlotte Roval Oct. 18 — Phoenix Oct. 25 — Talladega Nov. 1 — Martinsville Nov. 8 — Homestead ___
