The 36-race schedule begins with the Daytona 500 on Feb. 17 and ends Nov. 16 at Homestead-Miami Speedway

The major shifts had already been announced, namely that the first five races will be run consecutively, unlike this year when Cup teams got a week off after the season's second race, at California Speedway. (That means we, the fans, get it 5 weeks in a row straight!!)

btw: The Daytona 500 is 143 days away.. not that I'm counting!
