NASCAR Race Schedule 2020 and Winners

Daytona 500 is one of the most revered events and it arrives almost at the beginning of the NASCAR racing season. With the track having packed some of the finest events throughout the years, it’s no surprise that all drivers will be keen on establishing their dominance early in the series.

Not least of all, Daytona 500 offers the biggest purse, which is in itself an incentive to pump the gas pedal and hope the engine won’t overheat. We have covered Daytona 500 (2020) in quite some detail to allow you to make an informed betting choice ahead of this ultimate motorsport showdown.

Changes to the 2020 & 2021 NASCAR Schedule

The 2020 season is a transitional one for NASCAR. The event will no longer feature Monster Energy as an exclusive sponsor and this season’s premier partner program has already added multiple big brands, to name Xfinity, Coca-Cola, Geico and Busch Beer.

Speculation has been swirling around as to what the 2021 schedule will look like, with fans anticipating the 2020 edition to be a tell-tale period for the future of NASCAR as a whole. And fans seem to be spot on, with some notable changes to this year’s schedule already in place, and specifically:

• Martinsville Speedway will host an official Cup race on May 9, a first for the venue. The track will also play host to the final playoff elimination race, as well as the three national series.
• Pocono Raceway will play host to the first doubleheader due on June 27-28. The event kicks off on Saturday and will be supplemented with a Xfinity Series race on Sunday.
• Daytona International Speedway and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will swap events. As a result, Daytona Speedway will host the Cup regular season finale on August 29 whereas Indianapolis will host the July 4 race.
• Darlington Raceway and the Southern 500 will host the Cup playoffs on September 6. Furthermore, Bristol Motor Speedway’s will host the first elimination race.
• The Charlotte Roval will now play host the Round of 12 Elimination Race. The event is due to take place on October 12.
• Phoenix Raceway has been promoted to the new venue where the championship weekend will be held. Previously, the event was hosted at the Homestead-Miami Speedway.

Shaking Up the Drivers Lineup in 2020

Several drives have decided to change things up a little and found new homes for the 2020 NASCAR season. Here are the biggest shifts for the season so far:

• Chris Buescher has left #37 JTG Daugherty Racing for #17 Roush Fenway Racing
• Christopher Bell has left the XFINITY series to drive Leavine Family Racing #95 Toyota
• Daniel Hemric will run with JR Motorsports in the XFINITY Series
• Daniel Suarez has been released from #41 Stewart Haas and has not yet announced his plans for the season
• Matt DiBenedetto is changing #95 Leavine Family Racing for #21 Wood Brothers Racing
• Ricky Stenhouse Jr. is switching to #47 Chevrolet JTG Daugherty Racing from #17 Roush Fenway Racing
• Tyler Reddick has been appointed by Richard Childress Racing to race #8 after sealing two victories in the Xfinity Series
• Cole Custer will sit behind #41, promoted by Stewart-Haas Racing
• John Hunter Nemecheck will come strong in the season driving for Front Row Motorsports’ #38 Ford

There have been multiple other changes ahead of the 2020 season, some subtle – some not so much. Martin Truex Jr. will enjoy the company of James Small after Cole Pearn resigned from the team.

Team Penske has decided to introduce some changes in his own corner of the racing world pairing off Paul Wolfe and Joey Logano along with Jeremy Bullins with Brad Keselowski and Todd Gordon with Ryan Blaney. Hopefully, the changes will lead to a better showing this season.

Ryan Sparks will help out Richard Childress Racing as an engineer and see if he can help out Corey LaJoie making up for Randy Cox who has left.

NASCAR Power Rankings

The fight for the top spot is as usual a tough one. No power ranking out there exists to currently qualify a single driver as the absolute favorite for the 2020 season.

Harvick, Busch, Truex Jr. and Hamlin are considered good picks by oddsmakers this season, but whether this holds true will be put to a test as early as February 9 at the Busch Clash at DAYTONA.

Meanwhile, here are some of the top driver/crew chiefs’ noteworthy picks:

• Martin Truex Jr./Cole Pearn
• Kyle Busch/Chris Gabehart
• Cole Custer/Mike Shiplett
• Chase Elliott/Alan Gustafson
• Brad Kaselowski/Paul Wolfe
• William Byron/Chad Knaus
• Denny Hamlin/Chris Gabehart
• Kevin Harvick/Rodney Childers

Each pair has shown quite a bit of talent. Sure, there could be some objections to certain picks here. Gustafson, for example, has been criticized for his (in)ability to pick team members, but after a handful of back-to-back victories, this argument seems untenable.

The Kaselowski/Wolfe duo has been dominating the top echelons of the NASCAR Cup for nine years straight now, and despite some slowdown in the overall performance, the pair have been doing a fantastic job.

Bell and Ratcliff have been running unchecked in the XFINITY Series to the point that when their opponents found out the duo is moving onto the Cup Series relief came over them. The Cup Series is a different beast altogether, of course, and Bell is posted as a long shot pick at (+8000) odds. Yet, we do like Bell/Ratcliff’s chances in the Cup Series.

Past NASCAR Cup Series Winners

Kyle Busch and Jimmie Johnson are the two drivers who sport the most titles in the past 11 years. The 2020 NASCAR Cup Series will be yet another opportunity to add to their track record of titles. Yet, whether Busch and Johnson repeat their past feats depends on many factors. Johnson is actually listed at the opening odds (+4000), far behind Busch. Whether Jimmie is past his racing prime remains to be seen.

A Look at the 2020 Cup Series Rookies

With a lot going on this season, we have almost missed out on the rookies. Well, they are here and they are all some promising names. This year there will be six newbies competing for the following outfits:

• Brenan Poole – Premium Motorsports
• Tyler Reddick – Richard Childress Racing
• Quin Houff – StarCom Racing
• John Hunter Nemecheck – Front Row Motorsports
• Cole Huster – Stewart-Haas Racing
• Christopher Bell – Leavine Family Racing

Rookies are generally considered wild cards in the Cup Series. Depending on past performance, they can prove quite disruptive to experienced racers. Yet, NASCAR is a different beast all on its own and experience is usually needed to dominate.  All six drivers seem to have the trappings to conclude a strong season.

There have been quite a few changes to the overall schedule and team shifts. The same powerhouses are still in the race for the 2020 edition of the NASCAR Series, which are no longer under the titular sponsorship of Monster Energy.

Stay tuned for the latest updates in the odds and overall drivers standing.
