Yes, it's on NBC/Peacock.

Saturday, there are two 12-minute qualifying sessions (where drivers will have 40 seconds of push-to-pass) similar to normal races.

On Sunday, there are two ten-lap or 20 minutes from green flag (whichever comes first) heat races. Drivers will start based on their fastest lap times from Saturday's qualifying. Pit stops are not allowed during the heat races and will disqualify the drivers. Cars will get 40 seconds of PTP during the heat races.

The top six in each heat race will then compete in a 20-lap "all-star" race where the winning driver and crew will receive $500,000. The driver from the fastest lap time in the heat race will start on pole in the all-star race. During the all-star race, there is a 10-minute segment, a 10-minute "halftime break" where cars can pit, and then another 10-minute segment. Cars will have 40 seconds of PTP during each segment and will get a new sticker set of Firestones for the all-star race (as well as for their lone heat race).

Remember the short-lived Marlboro Challenge?

Wow thats cool! Never heard about it until you posted it. Wonder why so early in season? Its great to have just curious if it would be better later on or not exposure wise. Also, don’t want to go head to head with Nascar
