NASCAR Announces 2027 Season Schedule with Military-Themed Events and Major Upgrades

Daytona kicks off the year, Homestead concludes with a $20 million revamp, and new races at classic tracks and military bases

2027 NASCAR Schedule: From Daytona to Homestead and Beyond

The 2027 NASCAR calendar kicks off on February 21 at Daytona International Speedway, where the iconic Daytona 500 will be preceded by the high‑octane Clash exhibition race that brings fans to the beachside venue a week earlier.

The season will wind down in mid‑November at Homestead‑Miami Speedway, the venue that last crowned a champion in 2019 and is now slated for a $20 million capital upgrade that promises modernized facilities and enhanced fan experiences.

Adding a nostalgic touch, the famed All‑Star race will return to North Wilkesboro Speedway on May 23, reviving the historic half‑mile track for a showcase of the sport’s biggest stars.

A new military‑themed event is scheduled for August 1 at Naval Base Coronado in California, honoring service members while delivering a unique racing backdrop that blends competition with patriotism.

NASCAR and the Department of Defense have announced plans to expand the partnership, with future events set to debut at additional U.S. military installations beginning in 2028, signaling a long‑term commitment to service‑focused racing.

The lineup also features returns to familiar battlegrounds: a Cup Series points race at Dover Motor Speedway on May 16, the Southern 500 at Darlington Raceway serving as the final regular‑season showdown, and a June weekend at Pocono Raceway that will host all three national series.

Fans can also look forward to events in San Diego, California, where the city will host a weekend of racing that adds another West Coast flavor to the schedule.
