The 2024 NASCAR Cup Series will be the 76th season for NASCAR professional stock car racing in the United States and the 53rd season for the modern-era Cup Series. The season will start with the Busch Light Clash on February 4 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Clash will be followed by the Bluegreen Vacations Duel qualifying races on February 15 and the 66th running of the Daytona 500 (the first points race of the season) on February 18, both at Daytona International Speedway. The season will end with the NASCAR Cup Series Championship Race at Phoenix Raceway on November 10.
This will be the first season without Kevin Harvick since 2000, as he retired after the 2023 season and will join the NASCAR on Fox broadcast booth in 2024,[1] and the first season since 2011 without Aric Almirola, who stepped away from racing full-time after the 2023 season. In addition, this will be the last season for NASCAR’s current TV rights deal, which began in 2015.[2]
Ryan Blaney of Team Penske enters the season as the defending 2023 NASCAR Cup Series champion.[3]
