The playoffs, known as The Chase, will kick off at Richmond Raceway on September 11, 2027, where Watkins Glen International will debut a road‑course layout, while the Southern 500 returns to its traditional Labor Day weekend slot and the Bristol Night Race shifts back to August.
Dover Motor Speedway and Pocono Raceway will each host multiple series weekends, with Pocono even headlining a three‑series weekend, and the Craftsman Truck Series will race at Bowman Gray Stadium on August 20 before finishing the season at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park on September 5.
