NASCAR's schedule for 2007 features 36 points races at 22 different racetracks in 19 different states, beginning with the Daytona 500 on Feb. 18.
Notable among the 36 events are 16 races that will feature NASCAR's Car of Tomorrow. The COT debuts at Bristol on March 25 and will be used in competition the following week at Martinsville. The COT will appear only once, however, on tracks of 1.5 miles or more, the one race being Oct. 7 at Talladega.
The schedule also is noteworthy for the repositioning of the marquee Allstate 400 at the Brickyard (Indianapolis Motor Speedway). The July 29 date for the Indy race marks the first time the event has been contested in July and results in a flip-flop with the second race at Pocono, which traditionally has preceded the Brickyard.
The second Pocono race moves to Aug. 5 on the 2007 schedule.
The Pepsi 400 at Daytona International Speedway won't be the first race in July this year. That honor goes to New Hampshire International Speedway, which will host both the first event in the Race to the Chase and the first race in the Chase for the NASCAR Nextel Cup.
The Loudon dates are July 1 and Sept. 16, with the Pepsi 400 scheduled for Saturday, July 7 at Daytona. NASCAR will announce starting times for the events and television information at a later date.
