NASCAR faces longer seasons and tougher schedules

The NASCAR Winston Cup season echoed by Mark Martin ends in Homestead with a record 41 weeks of racing, 20 straight weeks, and rising costs. Track expansions into Chicago, Kansas, Texas and Las Vegas push schedules, sponsor obligations grow, and access in the garage tightens with a new Daytona testing plan and stricter security.

Racing schedule tests drivers amid rising demands

Martin notes 38 races including the Bud Shootout and The Winston. He says the number isn’t the hard part but the workload and preparation needed are dramatically increasing, making the sport tougher as schedules tighten and expectations rise.
