NASCAR Announces 2019 Cup Series Schedule

NASCAR released the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series schedule on Tuesday (April 3rd). It is rather early for the schedule to be released but when you take a look at the schedule, only one thing has really been changed. That is only because of the fact that Easter is in late April instead of early April.

The Advance Auto Parts Clash kicks off the NASCAR season again on Sunday, February 10th, 2019. The race will follow qualifying for the Daytona 500. The "West Coast Swing" kicks off on Sunday, March 3rd, 2019 at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The series then heads to ISM Raceway then Auto Club Speedway. The Easter off-weekend will be on Sunday, April 21st, in between Richmond and Talladega race weekends. The second off-weekend of the 2019 season will be the weekend of June 14th-16th which is Father's Day in 2019. The third and final off-weekend will be during the weekend of August 25th.

The season finale will be at the Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 17th, 2019. The tracks and layout of the 2019 season remain the same as 2018 which includes Indianapolis at the end of the regular season.
