Best Answer

The number of laps in a NASCAR race varies depending on the size of the track, and the distance raced. It will usually say something about it in the name of the race. For example, the Daytona 500 is 500 miles. They race 200 laps. Click on the link below for more information on different Nascar tracks.

Depends on how large the track is. If the track is a mile and a half it could take 235 laps. The best way to find out is to know how far the race is 500 or 400 miles, and divide by the size of the track.

Pocono Raceway is a 2.5 mile track, which hosts two Nascar Cup Series races per year. Each race is 400 miles in length and 160 laps in distance.

Prior to 2012, the races were 500 miles in length and 200 laps in distance.

The drivers must reach the halfway point of the scheduled amount of laps in order for a Nascar race to become official. For example, if it's a 200 lap race they must complete lap number 100. Once they begin lap 101, it's an official race.
