"We're excited to see NASCAR's new rules package being introduced for the 2019 season. This similar package was a huge success in the All-Star race this past May and should add even more excitement to the Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube on March 3. I applaud the cooperation between NASCAR, the race teams, manufacturers and speedways to continue to make improvements in our sport."

--Chris Powell, LVMS President
