Stage Laps
Nascar is returning to the Chase championship format, replacing the elimination-style
playoffs that has been in place since 2014.  The top 16 drivers based on points, will now
advance to a 10-race Chase for the championship.

Cars entering the garage for repairs during a race forfeit eligibility for the Fastest Lap
bonus point.  Also, laps only count if during green-flag racing condidions.

Race win bonus has increased from 40 to 55 points.

Horsepower at short tracks has increased from 670 to 750.

A-post flaps are now mandatory at all tracks.  These flaps activate in spins to elevate the
nose, reducing rollover propensity and wall impacts.
SCHEDULE CHANGES FOR 2026
Mexico City dropped after one year.

Chicagoland Speedway added and Chicago street race dropped.

New race to be held at Naval Base Coronado in California.

The Homestead Miami race was moved from March to the last race of the year.
