The penultimate race of the season is upon us this weekend and it’s perhaps the most nerve-filled, action-packed, pressure-cooker of an environment of the season. Not only is this a tricky and unique track, but it’s also the cutoff race to get to the Championship race in Miami next weekend. There are two drivers that are locked into the final race and that means that at least one driver will point their way onto Homestead-Miami depending on who wins the race on Sunday.
In terms of the track, it’s a 1-mile layout that is fairly flat as the banking never really goes over 12-13 degrees at any point but don’t confuse this with New Hampshire. The layout involves a “dogleg” feature that comes right after Turn 4 and the start/finish line which makes divebomb type passes on restarts and during green flag racing prevalent and allows for quite a bit of position differential possibility. The cars will have the full 750-horspower package in place this week that has been used on all 1-mile or shorter tracks and road courses this year. One note of advice, don’t be thrown off by the number in the race name this week, as it’s the number of kilometers run in the race to make the event 312 laps for the scheduled length. It tends to be a fairly quick race, unless cautions take over, which they can given the tight corners of Turns 1 & 2 and the divebomb passing in the dogleg, and laps led can click off pretty fast as well.

There have been 46 Cup races at ISM Raceway with five of those winners coming from Pole but the last win in 2015. There have been multiple winners to come from a few different spots in teens showing that position differential is possible quite frequently here.
Schedule
Friday, November 8: 4:05 pm ET First Practice
7:05 pm ET Final Practice
Saturday, November 9: 2:00 pm ET Qualifying
Sunday, November 10: 2:30 pm ET Bluegreen Vacations 500
Tech Inspection will occur Saturday prior to Qualifying meaning failing three times disallows a driver from taking a qualifying run. Unapproved adjustments after qualifying results in starting in the rear but being scored from original qualifying spot.
