![]() "It's great to have another tool to utilize," said Hemric, who was a part of the exciting NASCAR Camping World Truck Series August race. The success of the procedure has led Speedway officials to decide to repeat the process for this coming weekend, an announcement that has drawn many favorable responses from the garage area. The result saw three exciting August races, including an XFINITY Series race that fans, drivers and media have claimed to be one of the most exciting in series history. ![]() Last August, BMS treated the track to improve the lower groove. The action is going to be intense and everyone is going to be amped up that much more." "You're already on edge here, running side-by-side, nose-to-tail. "That action you've seen is always going to be doubled at Bristol," said Hemric. XFINITY Series rookie and Richard Childress Racing driver Daniel Hemric contends that the stage format will add even more excitement to Bristol compared to other venues. The Fitzgerald Glider Kits 300 will feature three stages consisting of 85 laps, 85 laps and 130 laps. ![]() The winner of Stage 3 will earn the race victory and move closer to a spot in the 2017 playoffs. The Stage 1 or Stage 2 winners will earn 10 additional points and a playoff point, with the top 10 also earning regular season points. Announced at the beginning of the year, all races in NASCAR's top three series will feature three stages. In addition to the Dash 4 Cash, XFINITY Series drivers will be making loops around Bristol with the new stage format. The win will give confidence to drivers as they prepare for one of the toughest few hours in XFINITY Series racing: 300 laps around the half-mile high banks of The Last Great Colosseum. Last season's Fitzgerald Glider Kits featured a race win/Dash 4 Cash sweep as Erik Jones visited Victory Lane. "If we could win the Bristol Dash 4 Cash, it would be a huge moment for us." "That influx of money is great for the XFINITY teams and it helps with budgets," said Allgaier, who won the Spring 2010 XFINITY Series event. Add that to the $100,000 each for the four bonuses and the JR Motorsports driver could walk away with a whopping $1 million. If he is able to accomplish the feat, he will earn an additional $600,000. ![]() But if you can do both at the same time, it's even better."Īllgaier is in a unique position when it comes to the 2017 Dash 4 Cash run, being the only driver who can sweep the four races. "If you don't win, you want to have a high finish and earn that nice consolation prize. "Ultimately as drivers we are all looking for the win," said Justin Allgaier, who won the first Dash 4 Cash prize earlier this month at Phoenix. While race wins are the most important goal, the chance to win a six figure monetary sum is not lost among the drivers. The highest finisher of those four (even if they aren't the race winner) will earn a $100,000 bonus. The highest finishing two from each of the first two stages will then race it out in the final stage. The Fitzgerald Glider Kits 300 is the second of four races that will host the Dash 4 Cash program in 2017, of which XFINITY Series regulars are eligible. While the stars of the NASCAR XFINITY Series will already be giving their all to take home the checkered flag this weekend, drivers will be returning to Bristol with new challenges that will add to the race.įans will want to pay close attention to the Dash 4 Cash program, the new NASCAR stage format and the return of the lower groove as drivers compete for the chance to claim ultimate glory at The World's Fastest Half-Mile.
