The NASCAR Cup Series season is right around the corner, and with it comes fresh paint schemes across the sport. Here are some of the new and updated schemes hitting the track in 2024.
NASCAR will be making changes to its Cup Series starting lineup procedure in 2024 after receiving feedback from drivers. The new system aims to address the issue of group designation heavily impacting a driver's position on the starting grid. Previously, drivers were split into two groups based on various metrics such as previous race finish, point standings, and fastest lap. This often resulted in one group having significantly faster times than the other, leading to unfair starting positions. The new system will assign starting positions based on group qualification, with Group A starting on the outside row for Rows 6-20, and Group B starting on the inside row for Rows 6-20. The top 10 spots will still be determined by the final round of qualifying.
Chicago's agreement with NASCAR for the upcoming race has not been legally finalized, according to an open records request. While NASCAR has verbally committed to providing an additional $2 million payment, it falls short of the city's expected costs from last year. The city spent at least $3.5 million on overtime and construction expenses for the inaugural race, but only received $620,000 in return.
