Según la NASCAR, el nuevo alineamiento ha tenido en consideración los intereses de la industria y de los operadores de los circuitos en las 3 Series Nacionales.
La nueva lista proporciona mejores fechas para los circuitos, un calendario más competitivo para los pilotos y para los aficionados.
Para la Sprint Cup Series se han realizado los siguientes cambios:
- El calendario de 36 carreras tiene 2 eventos con un orden diferente a la actual: a la Coca Cola 600 de Charlotte le seguirá una segunda carrera en Kansas.
- Por primera vez en 10 años se incluye un nuevo circuito en el calendario: Kentucky.
- El Chase for the Sprint Cup 2011 comenzará en Chicago, el segundo mayor mercado para la industria de la NASCAR.
