2027 NASCAR SCHEDULE TRACKER

As the NASCAR Cup, O’Reilly Auto Parts, and CRAFTSMAN Truck Series campaigns near their final set of races, the sanctioning body is working diligently on putting together the 2027 NASCAR schedules. Some racetracks have already announced their dates for the upcoming season, including Daytona International Speedway, the St. Petersburg Street Course, and Watkins Glen International (kind of). Still, there’s plenty more with rumors and speculation floating around them.

With several different racetracks expected to confirm scheduling in the coming days and weeks, JosephSrigley.com is putting together the 2026 NASCAR Schedule Tracker, which will include the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series, and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series (as well as any pertinent information about NASCAR’s Regional Touring Series).

2027 Schedule Rumors

• HOMESTEAD-MIAMI SPEEDWAY is widely expected to, once again, host Championship Weekend for NASCAR’s National Series in November 2027.
• BRISTOL MOTOR SPEEDWAY is likely to be bumped from “The Chase” in 2027, with the Bass Pro Shops Night Race looking to return to the August date it held from 1976-2019.
• DARLINGTON RACEWAY will likely also fall from ‘The Chase’, for no reason other than when Labor Day falls in 2027. However, the event will likely serve as the regular-season finale for the NASCAR Cup Series.
• WORLD WIDE TECHNOLOGY RACEWAY is rumored to also be falling from ‘The Chase’.
• RICHMOND RACEWAY and NEW HAMPSHIRE MOTOR SPEEDWAY are the two most-likely candidates to replace Bristol, Darlington, and World Wide Technology Raceway in ‘The Chase’, as well as Watkins Glen, which has already been announced to have a September date.
• Originally thought to be a one-off event, NAVAL BASE CORONADO could find its way back on the NASCAR schedule in 2027, although probably not on Father’s Day Weekend. Should the highly praised street course return, it’d likely be later in the Summer (August).
• NASCAR is unsure exactly where in Chicago it’ll be racing in 2027, whether that be at CHICAGOLAND SPEEDWAY or the purpose-built CHICAGO STREET COURSE, but the league will return to the incredibly important market, regardless. If the Street Course returns, it’ll be during Prime Video’s slot in June.
• DOVER MOTOR SPEEDWAY will not host the NASCAR All-Star Race in 2027 and will instead host a points-paying event. NORTH WILKESBORO SPEEDWAY, one season after landing its first points-paying event in three decades, is currently the leading contender to host the NASCAR All-Star Race (again).
• ROCKINGHAM SPEEDWAY’s standalone Easter Weekend date for the NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series and NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series is in limbo right now, amid some ownership instability with the racetrack. It’s unknown if NASCAR will return.
• BOWMAN GRAY STADIUM could host a points-paying NASCAR National Series event for the first time since 1971, but it likely won’t be the NASCAR Cup Series, but instead the NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series – which has been mentioned as a potential vessel for the quarter-mile racetrack’s guaranteed NASCAR date it gained with its deal with the sanctioning body.
• IOWA SPEEDWAY will host a NASCAR Cup Series race in 2027. The date, however, is unknown. One user reported seeing an Independence Day Weekend date listed on the ticket portal when attempting to renew for next year.
