Same format for all the three series: where’s the identity?

NASCAR announced in the press conference that this format will be implemented across all three-major series. That means the Camping World Truck series and the Xfinity series will have the same format as the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup series.

Nothing will separate the series from each other. This good be looked at as a good thing or a bad thing. However, in the past there was always something different about each series to set them apart from each other.

An example would be last season. Even though NASCAR put the same Chase Format in all three series, there was something different about each series. The truck series had the caution clock and the Xfinity series had heat races.

Now, there is nothing to identify each series from each other.
