It took some time for it to come together, but the full NASCAR Cup Series schedule for 2027 is officially set in stone. Next year’s schedule sees minor tweaks compared to 2026, including a revamp of how the 2027 Chase will look.
Among the adjustments include the Wheatley Vodka Clash exhibition race to start the season. Previously at Bowman-Gray Stadium, the Clash will return to the Daytona International Speedway for the first time since 2021 and first time on the oval configuration since 2020.
Dover Motor Speedway returns to the schedule as a points-paying race in 2027 after hosting the All-Star Race in 2026. The $1 million All-Star exhibition returns to North Wilkesboro Speedway after the North Carolina short track was the site for the event from 2023-2025.
North Wilkesboro loses its points-paying race in 2027 after hosting one this season for the first time since 1996.
The Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway moves out of the Chase and will be the regular-season finale in 2027. World Wide Technology Raceway and Bristol Motor Speedway also move out of the Chase in 2027 to points-paying races in August.
Richmond Raceway moves back into the Chase for the first time since 2021 and will be the Chase opener on Saturday night, September 11. Watkins Glen International, previously having a May date in 2026, will be the second race of the Chase in 2027.
New Hampshire Motor Speedway also moves back into the Chase next season as it will be the site for the third race of NASCAR’s postseason.
