  • Enhanced Format
    ENHANCED FORMAT OVERVIEW 2017 NASCAR National Series Enhanced Format Overview For which series were these enhancements designed? The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series™, the NASCAR XFINITY Series™ and the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series™. How many Stages are in a race? Three — Stage 1, Stage 2 and the Final Stage. How long is Stage 1 and Stage 2? Approximately 25-30 percent of the event’s total length. Stage lengths will be determined prior to the event. What are Points? They are the points awarded to the top-10 finishers of Stage 1 and Stage 2, and all finishers of the Final Stage. They are immediately added to a driver’s points total following a stage. What are Playoff Points? They are points awarded to the winner of each of the stages, as well as the top-10 drivers in points following the regular season. They will be added to a driver’s reset total only if that driver makes the playoffs. Who earns Points in Stage 1? Drivers who are running first through 10th at the conclusion of Stage 1 will receive points. Additionally, the winner of Stage 1 will receive one playoff point to carry into the playoffs. STAGE 1 Finishing Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Points 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Playoff Points 1 How does Stage 2 work? At the conclusion of Stage 1, there is a caution period in which teams may opt to pit. Stage 2 will then begin with the starting order determined by the race off pit road (if cars have chosen to stay out during pit stops, those cars would then lead the field to green).
