fight bantamweight champion (Rowdy) Ronda Rousey on July 5 in the co-main event
of UFC 175 in Las Vegas.Daytona Beach, FL (SportsNetwork.com) -- NASCAR
announced a radical change to its qualifying format for the Sprint Cup,
Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series on Wednesday, making it similar to
knockout qualifying used for Formula One and IndyCar Series road/street course
races. At NASCAR racetracks measuring 1.25 miles or longer in length, qualifying
will consist of three rounds. Tracks measuring less than 1.25 miles will feature
just two segments. NASCAR noted its revised qualifying format will not be used
for the Daytona 500 (Feb. 23) and the Truck Series race at Eldora Speedway (July
23), which is the only national touring series event contested on a dirt track.
It also wont be used for the Sprint Cup non-point races -- the Feb. 15 Sprint
Unlimited at Daytona International Speedway and the May 17 NASCAR Sprint All-
Star Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway. "Were looking forward to the new
qualifying format for all three of our national series this year," NASCAR vice
president of competition Robin Pemberton said during a teleconference. "The new
format is something that weve been looking at for quite some time. The goal is
providing a more fan- friendly and exciting qualifying session for each race
event across the board, with the exception of the Daytona 500 and Eldora, which
are unique in their own right. "NASCAR fans will be treated to highly
competitive elimination-based qualifying segments that will be more engaging to
the fans in the stands and those watching on television or online." For those
races on tracks 1.25 miles or greater, the first qualifying elimination round
will be 25 minutes in duration and includes all cars/trucks.

from the opening segment will advance to the second round. The remaining
cars/trucks will be sorted from their times in descending order posted during
the first segment. The 12 cars/trucks that recorded the quickest single lap
during the second round, which is 10 minutes in length, will then advance to the
third and final segment, which lasts five minutes. Positions 13 through 24 will
be based on lap times during the second round. Positions 1 through 12 will be
determined during the final round, with the driver posting the fastest lap
winning the pole position. There will be a five-minute break between each of the
three qualifying rounds. For those tracks shorter than 1.25 miles, the opening
segment in qualifying will be 30 minutes in duration and includes all entries.
The 12 cars/trucks that recorded the fastest single lap time will advance to the
second segment. The remaining field will be determined by lap times in
descending order during the first round. Positions 1 through 12 will then be
decided in the final segment, which is 10 minutes in length. "We believe the
timing is right for this new style of qualifying, and for our drivers and teams,
we believe that it will create even better competition leading into the event,"
Pemberton said. NASCARs new format is scheduled to be used for the first time on
Feb. 21 when the Nationwide and Truck Series have qualifying for their
season-openers at Daytona. Sprint Cup will utilize the format beginning with the
March 2 race at Phoenix International Raceway.
