How the regulations have changed in the off-season for this weekend’s Daytona 500.

The remaining four drivers will have their points and playoff points reset to 5,000 for the final race. Kyle Busch, 5,000 points; Kevin Harvick, 5,000 points; Martin Truex Jr., 5,000 points; Brad Keselowski, 5,000 points; 2017 NASCAR championship race rules. Just like the other 35 races, there will be stage racing at Homestead next Sunday. With playoff points being awarded after each segment I'd expect a lot more short pitting or lower funded teams taking risks to get those points for Top 10 finishes. The changes could be a total failure and NASCAR could just revert back in a couple seasons but I expect to see some major benefits starting with this weekend. Points are then reset to 3,000 plus playoff points for the second round of Las Vegas, Talladega, and the Charlotte street course. After that points are reset to 4,000 and playoff points for the third round of Kansas, Texas, and Martinsville. At that point, the four drivers left qualified to go to Phoenix with 5,000 points.
NASCAR is back for 2017 with Sunday’s Daytona 500. Last weekend’s non-points Advance Auto Parts Clash race—won by Penske’s Joey Logano—was a fun primer, but this weekend is when the 2017 racing season really kicks off for the newly minted Monster Energy NASCAR Cup.

Rule changes have been the story of the off-season with the series introducing a number of new regulations including segmented races. Each race in 2017 will be divided into three parts. A yellow will fall at the end of segments one and two and points will be awarded to the top 10 drivers. Points will also be awarded as usual at the finish of each race. NASCAR believes this will heighten competition throughout the event.

NASCAR has also made changes regarding the championship format. Gone is “The Chase” and instead the final races will be referred to as the playoffs. Elimination will continue as in previous years, with four drivers being dropped from contention at each stage of the playoffs, but a regular season champion will be awarded additional points going into the playoff season and playoff bonus points will be given for winning the segments of each race.
In addition, points are being awarded for the Can-Am Duels at Daytona, the qualifying races for the Daytona 500, for the first time.

Rules have also been added limiting repairs that can be made to damaged vehicles during a race. Body panels can no longer be replaced during competition so prepare to see more cars officially retired instead of simply several laps down.
Pole for the race has already been determined in qualifying; Chase Elliott will be leading the field into turn one for the second year in a row for Hendrick Motorsports, but the rest of the grid will not be set until after tonight’s Can-Am Duals. You can catch the action live on Fox Sports 1 tonight starting at 7 p.m. Eastern.
