NASCAR announces stage lengths of all 2017 Cup, Xfinity, Truck races

NASCAR Truck

NASCAR on Thursday announced the enhanced format stage lengths for each race in all three national series in 2017.

The new format begins with next weekend’s season-opening races at Daytona International Speedway for Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series.

The 59th edition of the Daytona 500 will mark the debut of the enhanced format in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. The first two stages will be 60 laps each, while the final stage will be 80 laps, for a total of 200 scheduled laps.

The new three stages bring a new sense of strategy for crew chiefs, drivers and teams, particularly with fuel mileage and tire wear.

“Every track is unique for its characteristics in length, surface and overall racing conditions,” said Scott Miller, NASCAR senior vice president of competition, said in a release. “We worked closely with race teams on expected fuel and tire runs over the entirety of an event when considering stage lengths.

“And in the end, stage lengths were decided based upon what would provide the best race for fans.”

For the full list of stages for the remainder of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series season, as well as the NASCAR XFINITY Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series seasons, see below.
