Racing fans rejoice. The 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race schedule is about to begin. Joey Logano enters the 2019 season as the man to beat after winning his first Cup Series championship in 2018. Jimmie Johnson, under a new paint scheme and sponsorship, will look to become the first eight-time Cup champion in NASCAR history following the worst season of his career. Gone is familiar face Kasey Kahne, who retired amid health issues in 2018, but you'll be seeing more of Dale Earnhardt Jr. as a commentator and studio analyst under NBC Sports' revamped NASCAR America programming (as well as driving in at least one Xfinity race).

Rather than merely being docked points in the standings for failing post-race inspections, teams and drivers will face automatic race disqualification along with the loss of points, trophies and prize money. The race runner-up would be declared the new winner should a driver fail an inspection. Following the debut of a new playoff format in 2018, the Cup champion will again be determined by a 16-driver, 10-race playoff that consists of four cut-down rounds, with each round narrowing the championship-eligible drivers by four. Below is the schedule for every Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race in 2019, including the playoffs, complete with information about how to watch live on TV and stream online.

The field has unloaded at the 2.5-mile oval of Daytona International Speedway View the 2019 Daytona Xfinity starting lineup times below. 2019 Daytona Menu: NXS TV | Prac 1 & 2 | Qual | Race First, they’ll set the grid for today’s race. Two rounds of single car qualifying is next. NASCAR Xfinity Series Qualifying Round 1 – Report The 2019 NASCAR Xfinity Series field has been dropped from 40 cars to 38. The top 12 from round one will advance into the final round. You only get one lap. That means drivers have to be on it from the exit of the pit lane. Engine issues for Cole Custer. He’s last on the times sheet. He pulled it into the garage and the crew has gone to work on an engine change. Tyler Reddick wins round one of Xfinity Series qaulifying. Daytona Xfinity Qualifying – Round 1 Results: 1. Tyler Reddick (47.661); 2. Justin Haley (47.851); 3. Ryan Sieg (47.880); 4. Gray Gaulding (47.887); 5. Ross Chastain (47.963); 6. Michael Annett (48.004); 7. Jeffrey Earnhardt (48.043); 8. Chase Elliott (48.093); 9. Brad Keselowski (48.143); 10. Chase Briscoe (48.111); 11. Christopher Bell (48.148); 12. Caesar Bacarella (48.166); NASCAR Xfinity Series Qualifying Round 2 – Report The field hits the track in reverse order of their round 1 times. In theory, each car out should run a little faster than the previous car. Tyler Reddick is sitting on the pit lane with a slow leak in the tire. They could put air in it and it will hold long enough to make a run. That could be an advantage of sorts, it’s like a bleeder valve. But, they’re going to have to change it before the race. The team has tested the tire on pit road. They aired it up to see how long the air hold hold. Two minutes was the the result. He’s going to make a run. NASCAR will make him start at the back regardless when he changes the tire. Three cars remain, Jeffrey Earnhardt currently sits at the top of the board. He picked up 3.4 tenths front round 1 to round two, that’s more than most. Riddick is the last car on track, with his flat tire. Tyler Reddick jumps to the top of the board and takes the pole at Daytona! View the full NASCAR Xfinity Series starting lineup for Daytona below.
