NASCAR has released pit road speeds and caution vehicle speeds for 2018, with no changes from last season at the existing tracks that its three national series visit.

The only addition for next year’s schedule is the Charlotte Motor Speedway road course, which will have slightly slower speeds in both categories than the 1.5-mile oval layout. The Charlotte road course pit road speed will be 40 mph and the caution vehicle speed is set for 45 mph. The oval will have a pit road speed of 45 mph with caution vehicle speed of 55 mph.

The NASCAR Rule Book provides race teams with a 5-mph buffer over the announced speed limit at each track.

The only other slight change reflects the new name for Phoenix Raceway, which will be called ISM Raceway starting in 2018.
