The change comes ahead of the 30th Anniversary of the Brickyard 400, which was first held in 1994.

The Brickyard 400 will return in 2024, as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will revert its annual NASCAR race weekend from the infield road course back to the track's iconic oval configuration.

Richmond Raceway will now be the Easter Sunday evening race on March 31, and both Richmond races will now be held in primetime.

Bristol Motor Speedway's spring date will once again be held on concrete after three years on dirt, with the race being moved from Easter Sunday back to March 17.

Iowa takes the place of Auto Club Speedway, which is in the process of being redeveloped.

Iowa Speedway has been added to the schedule on June 16, marking the inaugural Cup Series race at a track that has become a popular stop on the Xfinity and Truck Series tours.

The notable changes to the Cup Series schedule are as follows: 'The 2024 NASCAR National Series schedules strike a great balance between visiting many of our traditional tracks that continue to put on a great show, and newer locations like our first Cup race in Iowa and our highly anticipated return to the streets of Chicago that create 'bucket list' moments and attract new fans to America's leading motorsport.'

'NASCAR is committed to delivering an annual schedule that continues to be bold and dynamic across all three national series while maintaining the famed destinations that our fans love,' read a statement by Ben Kennedy, NASCAR senior vice president of racing development and strategy. The new schedule includes a significant shuffling of race dates, the return of two racetracks back to their original configurations, and a popular new addition to the Cup Series' slate of races in the Midwest. After many months of anticipation and several individual announcements preceding it, NASCAR released the complete 2024 NASCAR Cup Series schedule on Wednesday.
