Daytona action

NASCAR has lengthened the first two stages for Saturday’s Monster Cup race at Daytona International Speedway by 10 laps each.

The change was updated in the Cup Rule Book.

Stage 1 will now end on Lap 50. Stage 2 will now end on Lap 100.

The race is 160 laps.

The change was made to ensure that the stage results are not determined by fuel mileage.
