CONCORD, N.C. -- The Hendrick Motorsports teams are heading to Daytona International Speedway this weekend to tackle the DAYTONA Road Course.
It marks the first time the Cup Series has had a points-paying race at the road course. Despite Hendrick Motorsports' success at Daytona's 2.5-mile oval, the road course will be a completely unique challenge.
Here is everything you need to know to tune in to Sunday's race at Daytona.
WHAT TIME IS PRACTICE AND QUALIFYING?
Since NASCAR is taking extra precautions to ensure the safety of the teams and personnel at the track, there will be no practice and no qualifying. The starting order for Sunday's race will be based on a new metric system and will be announced Wednesday.

The race is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, Aug. 16 and will be broadcast on NBC.

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW?
For the first time in its history, the NASCAR Cup Series will go fender-to-fender on the 3.56-mile Daytona International Speedway road course on Sunday.
