Daytona International Speedway’s road course is scheduled to host “The Clash” in February of 2021.
  • World Wide Technology Raceway (previously Gateway) will be moved from the first race of the NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series playoffs to race No. 14 of the regular season. The ARCA and NASCAR Truck Series weekend at WWT will overlap the NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR Xfinity Series weekend at Daytona’s superspeedway.
  • The NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series will not run their annual events at Eldora Speedway and Canadian Tire Motorsports Park in 2020. Both races will be realigned and rescheduled at a later date.
