Exactly how many laps are in each nascar race?

Answer 1

it depends on the race. the daytona 500 is 500 miles on a 2.5 mile track, so it's 200 laps. the sharpie 500 in bristol is 500 laps on a .5 mile track, so the race is only 250 miles, even though they run 300 more laps than in the daytona 500. there are many different sized tracks, so it varies from week to week.

I think it's fair to say most Nascar fans are more into the drama than the automobile racing. When there is a fist fight or some silly confrontation look at how many people are talking about it. I find it sad, but to each their own. Bristol has had phenomenal races the past few seasons with the track changes. Multiple grooves and side by side racing, long green flag runs, etc. But all I hear is how boring it is. Excuse me? Because there isnt arguing, crashing, a 150 laps run behind the pace car?

Answer 3

I like both racing at Bristol. But the reason I want them to change Bristol back to how it was is because the way it is now it's a multiple groove track which pretty much every mile and a half or bigger track is like. So I'd rather Bristol have the racing characteristics of a short track where it's a 1 groove track. So I do like it either way, more excitement before but it's better side by side the way it is now, but I'd just rather it be raced like a short track that it is. So I'm not into wrecked cars, I just prefer it to race the style that it is, short track, not like a mile and a half and bigger like most of the tracks are. All they're going to do is take the progressive banking away, not going to touch the straight aways and going to keep it concrete. There will still be side by side racing, it's just going to take the advantage away from the top line. The top line had the advantage but after taking the progressive banking away it won't, will probably be close to even.

Answer 4

Depends. It's measured in miles. Usually anywhere from 300-500 laps. There is one race with 600 (the Coca Cola 600; 400 laps) and the road courses have less than 300 miles since the laps are slower ;)

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

It changes every race. I watch nascar with my dad and every race there is a different number of laps. But usually it is over 100

Answer 7

Every track is different every week. They "bill" the races 3 different way's. By miles, kilometers and laps.

The pheonix races are in kilometers. Daytona is a 500 mile. Martinsville is a 500 lap. etc. etc.

So there's no one simple answer.

Answer 8

Each race is a certain length in miles, e.g. Daytona 500. The tracks vary in length, usually 1 mile to 1.5 miles. Therefore the length of the track determines the number of laps. You take the number of miles and divide by the exact length of the track to get the number of laps for a particular race.

Answer 9

depends on how many miles around a track. If its a small track then it would be about 400 laps, a big track would be about 200 laps. It varies more than that though...

Answer 10

About 100 miles worth too many in every race save the Daytona 500.
