NASCAR looking at shorter weekend schedules? What else is coming down the NASCAR pike? One-day shows for the top touring series “ including the newly named Monster Energy Cup Series.

We’d like to see “ because you don’t get home to see your family until two, three in the morning if you’re on a race team, so you lose part of Monday, too “ so you have to find a way to get that day back and tie it all together. If you move qualifying closer to the race, you get that day back which is so important to everyone’s quality of life in this sport.””Â(Motorsport)(1-26-2017)
