It’s a double-header race weekend. The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series are on deck. It’s also a condensed weekend.

Both divisions are set for some night racing at the short track. The Xfinity Series will race tonight. The green flag for the MENCS makes an appearance on Saturday night.

Qualifying Note: NASCAR has again adjusted the rules for MENCS qualifying ahead of the race weekend.

All three round of knockout qualifying will now be just five minutes. Previously, round one and round two were 10 minutes in duration with the third and final round being five.

This is a latest in a string of adjustments regarding NASCAR qualifying. A waiting game has been formed at the edge of the pit lane as cars are drafting in packs for qualifying runs. This is caused by the new rules package of higher downforce.

Last week, Bristol wasn’t a track that expected a waiting game. Yet, they still waited. It’s speculated that the reason for the wait at Bristol was due to the PJ1 on the track which needs heat to be activated. No driver wanted to run on it cold.

This week, NASCAR has reduced the waiting game by trimming allocated time in the first two rounds. This rule change only goes into place for the MENCS.
