NASCAR announced on Thursday the 2017 schedules for its three national series – the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series and NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.

Typically reserved for much later in the year, NASCAR credited the early schedule release to unprecedented stakeholder collaboration, specifically the five-year sanctioning agreement that the sanctioning body signed with its race tracks last October.

“Announcing the 2017 national series schedules this early in the season is another example of the collaborative spirit across the NASCAR industry,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer. “It is an exciting time in NASCAR, with some of the most intriguing racing we’ve seen in years. With the 2017 schedule solidified, the industry can now concentrate on the remainder of this season, while planning for the future much earlier than in previous years.”

There are a few differences in the 2017 schedule compared to 2016, most notably a shift in two key dates during NASCAR’s playoffs.

Talladega Superspeedway will become the second race in the Round of 12 in 2017 (Oct. 15). Kansas Speedway will now become the third and final race in that round (Oct. 22).

Texas Motor Speedway shifted its spring Cup race to Sunday (Apr. 9), a move expected to increase racing action like that seen after Richmond International Raceway switched to a Sunday race for the 2016 season. Other changes in the NASCAR Cup schedule include Dover International Speedway’s spring date move to June 4, a week after the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway (May 28). Michigan International Speedway’s second race will return to its traditional early August slot, on Aug. 13.

As is tradition, the NASCAR Cup Series 2017 schedule opens with the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway, scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 26. The season culminates with the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 19.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series will kick off at Daytona on Feb. 25, and crown its champion at Homestead on Saturday, November 18.

The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series opens its season at Daytona on Feb. 24, and culminates at Homestead on Nov. 17.
