NASCAR announced in January that the X-FINITY and Camping World Truck Series will each feature a seven-race post-season Chase format to crown a champion, similar to the ten-race “playoff” system now in place for the Sprint Cup Series. The newly implemented championship formats will include two elimination rounds leading up to The Championship 4 at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Twelve drivers will qualify for the X-FINITY Series Chase with eight drivers eligible in the Truck Series. The three series will begin their respective Chases at three different tracks: Sprint Cup at Chicagoland Speedway, X-FINITY Series at Kentucky Speedway and the Truck Series at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
