Episode Synopsis

NASCARs New Championship Format: A Game-Changer in the MakingNASCAR is still deliberating over a new championship format for the 2026 season, with a decision that could significantly redefine the sport. The current playoff system, in place since 2014, has lost its appeal for many fans and industry insiders. Steve ODonnell, NASCARs President, has confirmed that a decision wont be rushed, with reports suggesting a final call could be weeks or even months away. The goal is to find a format that ensures the championship feels earned and respected by everyone involved, preventing the loss of future racing superstars and building new fan favorites. Rumors suggest a wide range of possibilities, from a modified version of the current playoffs to a return to the classic ten-race chase or even the old-school full-season format.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
