## Resource

NASCAR’s Cup Series is streamlining practice for the 2026 season—cutting it down to one focused 50-minute session per race (except superspeedways and Homestead) to give teams more consistent, uninterrupted track time. Teams get extra tires each weekend to support setup and tuning, while impound rules remain in place. The change, backed by team feedback, aims to help drivers and crew chiefs dial in cars faster before qualifying and race day—without the chaos of split sessions. Superspeedways keep their unique formats, but everywhere else, expect a cleaner, more efficient practice routine starting at New Hampshire.
