The 2021 Cup Series Schedule will feature three new tracks, six road course and a dirt-track racing for the first time in more than 50 years.
While the first race and the last race of the 36-race season will be the same as this season, Daytona 500 on February 14 and Phoenix Raceway on November 7, the races in between will have a lot of changes.
As Bristol Motor Speedway will be undergoing a change to a dirt-track, NASCAR will be racing for the first time on a dirt surface since 1970.
Speaking about the change, Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer, said:
“We developed the 2021 schedule with one primary goal: Continue to take steps to create the most dynamic schedule possible for our fans. Extensive collaboration between NASCAR, the race tracks, race teams and our broadcast partners allowed NASCAR to create what promises to be an exciting 2021 schedule of races.”
