The race will feature 188 laps around the 2.66-mile superspeedway, with the stages ending on laps 98, 143 and 188. Talladega is the largest oval on the NASCAR schedule and is one of the most unpredictable races of the season because the field will spend most of the day racing together in a large pack.

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series heads to Talladega Superspeedway Saturday afternoon for The Progress Group 250, the seventh race of The Chase. The race will feature 94 laps around the 2.66-mile superspeedway, with the stages ending on laps 25, 50 and 94. Talladega is the largest oval on the NASCAR schedule and will once again produce the tight pack racing, constant position changes and high wreck potential that make drafting tracks completely different for DFS.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series heads to Talladega Superspeedway Friday afternoon for the Love’s RV Stop 225, the fifth race of The Chase. The race will feature 85 laps around the 2.66-mile superspeedway, with the stages ending on laps 20, 40 and 85. Talladega is one of the biggest and fastest tracks on the NASCAR schedule and should once again give us the tight pack racing and unpredictability that comes with superspeedway racing.

he NASCAR Cup Series heads to Phoenix Raceway Sunday afternoon for the Freeway Insurance 500, the seventh race of The Chase. The race will feature 312 laps around the 1-mile flat oval, with the stages ending on laps 60, 185 and 312. Phoenix is a unique track because the two ends race very differently, with the flatter and wider Turns 1 and 2 giving drivers multiple lane options while Turns 3 and 4 require more braking and a different approach to getting the car rotated throug

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series heads to Phoenix Raceway this Saturday for the Timberland PRO 200, the next race in the series’ championship Chase. The event covers 200 laps around the one-mile oval, with stage breaks scheduled for laps 45, 90 and 200.

The race will feature 150 laps around the one-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 45, 90 and 150.

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway Sunday afternoon for the Bank of America 400, the sixth race of The Chase. The race will feature 267 laps around the 1.5-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 80, 165 and 267.

The race will feature 200 laps around the 1.5-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 45, 90 and 200. Charlotte is one of the more traditional intermediate tracks on the schedule and should put a lot of emphasis on maintaining speed over a long run while still giving drivers multiple lanes to work with as the race develops.

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns to Charlotte Motor Speedway Friday afternoon for the Ecosave 200, the third race of The Chase for the series. The race will feature 134 laps around the 1.5-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 30, 60 and 134.

The race will feature 267 laps around the 1.5-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 80, 165 and 267. Las Vegas is one of the more important intermediate races from a DFS standpoint because the track usually gives the fastest cars enough opportunity to separate over a long run, while 267 laps still creates a meaningful pool of dominator points.

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series returns to Las Vegas Motor Speedway Saturday night for the Focused Health 302, the fourth race of The Chase. The race will feature 201 laps around the 1.5-mile intermediate, with the stages ending on laps 45, 90 and 201. Las Vegas gives drivers multiple usable lanes as the track develops, but maintaining momentum through the long corners is the biggest key. A car that begins sliding the tires or losing rear grip can give up a lot of time

The race will feature 267 laps around the 1.5-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 80, 165, and 267.

The race will feature 134 laps around the 1.5-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 30, 60 and 134.

The NASCAR Cup Series heads to Bristol Motor Speedway Saturday night for the Bass Pro Shops Night Race, the third race of The Chase. The race will feature 500 laps around the 0.533-mile concrete oval, giving us one of the largest dominator-point pools on the entire schedule. Bristol is unique because the lap times are so short, traffic builds almost immediately, and a driver who loses even a little bit of pace can fall behind much faster than they would at a typical short tra

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series rolls into Bristol Motor Speedway Friday night for 300 laps under the lights at one of the fastest and most unforgiving short tracks on the schedule. Bristol’s half-mile layout creates a very different type of race than most short tracks because the lap times are so quick and the banking allows the field to carry a ton of speed through the corners. Drivers are rarely able to relax here, and even a brief loss of pace can quickly turn into

The race will feature 250 laps around the 0.533-mile concrete oval, with the stages ending on laps 65, 130, and 250.

The race will feature 240 laps around the 1.25-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 45, 140, and 240. WWTR is one of the more unique tracks on the schedule because Turns 1 and 2 are tighter than Turns 3 and 4, forcing teams to compromise on the setup and putting a premium on braking stability, center rotation, and rear grip on corner exit.

The 500-mile race will be 367 laps around the historic 1.366-mile oval and will also be the first race of The Chase for the Cup. That gives us a long race with plenty of dominator points available and even more pressure on the drivers trying to start their championship run with a strong finish.

The NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series heads to Darlington Raceway Saturday night for the Fleetio 200. The race will feature 147 laps around the 1.366-mile oval, with the stages ending on laps 45, 90, and 147.
