Daytona International Speedway or Talladega Superspeedway Expected to Host Race

The addition of a second superspeedway race will likely have a ripple effect on the rest of the Cup Series schedule. The race could replace one of the existing races at Daytona or Talladega, or it could be added as a new race on a different weekend.

Conclusion

The addition of a second superspeedway race to the Cup Series schedule is a major development for NASCAR. The race will add excitement to the schedule and could help to attract new fans to the sport. NASCAR has not yet officially announced the race, but it is expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks.
