The TV broadcast schedule for the 2019 NASCAR Cup Series season has been released. When will each of the season’s races be broadcast?
The 2019 NASCAR Cup Series season, which is made up of the same 36 races in the same order that they took place throughout the 2018 season, is scheduled to begin in roughly two months with the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway in mid-February.
The season is scheduled to last for nine months, as the season finale, the Ford EcoBoost 400, at Homestead-Miami Speedway is scheduled to take place in mid-November.
The TV broadcast schedule for all 36 races as well as the other non-points paying events on the 2019 schedule was revealed on Tuesday.
