Daytona Beach, FL (My Sportsbook) - NASCAR released Tuesday the 2010 schedules for all three of its national touring divisions, featuring minor changes in the Sprint Cup Series that include the spring race dates for Dover, Phoenix and Texas.
Dover's first race of the season will move to May 16, one week before the all- star event and the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. Dover generally followed the consecutive two-week stop at Charlotte.
Phoenix International Raceway and Texas Motor Speedway will swap their dates, with Phoenix running its race on April 10 and Texas hosting its event on April 18.
The 36-race Sprint Cup schedule begins with the February 14 Daytona 500 and concludes on November 21 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The series will have four off weekends, including the traditional Easter holiday on April 4.
In the Nationwide Series, Nashville, Phoenix and Texas will change their spring dates in accordance with the Cup schedule. Nashville Superspeedway's new date will be April 3, while Phoenix and Texas will run the following weekends. Dover also will switch to May 15, in companion to the Cup event there.
The Camping World Truck Series does feature a significant change next year. The series will run at Pocono Raceway for the first time, while California Speedway's February race will be dropped from the schedule. Pocono hosts their Truck event on July 31, one day before the Cup race at the 2.5-mile triangular track.
Iowa Speedway and Gateway International Raceway will hold their events two months earlier, on July 11 and 16. Nashville's date will move a week later to August 7, while Kentucky Speedway's race will switch from July to September 3. Kansas Speedway will host their event one week later than usual on May 2.
