NASCAR Cup Series races last 3-4 hours
NASCAR Cup Series races generally last between three to four hour. Some races last even longer, and can run for more than six hours. These races are well-known for their unpredictable lengths and often get delayed due to various factors. Each NASCAR race is different depending on its location and circuit. A race at Martinsville might last two and a quarter hours, while the Coca-Cola World 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway is expected to last six hours.
Short track races are measured in laps
A majority of short track NASCAR races last between 500-400 laps. This distance is preferred by drivers seeking an oval track career. Short track races are shorter than a mile and generally more thrilling and faster than longer races. In the next few years, short track races may be more popular. These are some tips to remember when you watch a short track NASCAR racing race.
Speedways are measured by miles
It is not always the same size track. Speedways are measured by miles. Oval tracks, however, are usually one to two miles in length and sometimes up to three. Ovals were more popular until the 1990s as they were easier to view the cars race on the track. Three ovals from the eight that were constructed prior to 1994 remain. The rest of the ovals were built later. Officially, an oval measures one-to two miles.
Variable weather conditions can impact race length
Recent research examined the effect of weather conditions on endurance event performance. Researchers analysed data from endurance running events all over the world to determine which races are affected. Researchers analyzed weather data from local meteor stations, and examined 1258 events from 42 different countries. Although statistically significant, the effects of weather conditions on race length were not the same for all events.
Changing tires during cautions can prolong a race
A caution for changing tires can prolong a race, especially if the driver does not change their tires at the right time. Goodyear, the company that makes NASCAR tires, warned teams this season against pushing the limits of their tires. During practice, drivers like Buescher and Logano were forced to pit due to tire failure. However, other drivers, such as Ryan Blaney, Denny Hamlin, and Ricky Stenhouse Jr., were able to repair their tires. BJ McLeod, however, was the first to experience tire failure on race day. He was also hurt during stage one.
