Here it is—Cup, Xfinity, and Truck Series schedules for 2024 all in one place! Here’s the biggest changes:

—Iowa Speedway gets its first Cup race. While running at a 7/8th mile “action track” is likely to be thrilling, it DOES mean more interviews with Rusty Wallace.
—Auto Club Speedway (aka California Speedway) is off the schedule completely. While this is, theoretically, to allow time to convert the track into a half-mile high-banked short track, the lack of actual work being done makes me think it’s just an excuse. Like when you skip three straight summer trips to “save money for the pool”.
—Bristol’s spring race returns to its original concrete surface, thus making Nascar Cup’s return-to-dirt experiment a pretty expensive waste of time, much like the Cup career of Buckshot Jones.
—The annual trip to Indy will return the race to the oval. I’m guessing it takes approximately eight laps for fans to realize how terrible the racing is there, and why Nascar moved to the road course in the first place.
—The Chicago street course race is, in theory, returning, thus giving schmucks online plenty of Facebook threads to spread their ignorance.
—There’s a two-weekend late-summer break to allow NBC and USA to air the Summer Olympics. Sorry, but tape-delayed badminton coverage takes precedence.
