So I wanted to find NASCAR’s 2018 race calendar today. Remembered how confusing it was ’cause their website redesign messed everything up last month. Started digging through NASCAR’s official site first – total waste of time. Spent twenty minutes clicking through menus like an idiot just to find outdated 2017 info.
Where I Went Wrong Initially
Made the rookie mistake of checking motorsport blogs next. Big error. Those clowns can’t even agree on race dates, plus they’re stuffed with spoilers from old seasons. Almost rage-quit when three different sites showed three different dates for Daytona 500.
Tried searching directly through DuckDuckGo – keyword “NASCAR 2018 full schedule” – but kept getting useless PDF schedules from ticket resellers. Who prints these things? Felt like searching for car keys in a junk drawer.
The Actual Solution
Finally got smart and went straight to Jayski’s. That site’s saved my bacon before. Scrolled past five annoying ads that made my phone vibrate like crazy before hitting the gold: a clean table showing every damn race weekend. Copied everything into my notes app immediately before their stupid pop-ups could crash the page.

What worked in the end:
- Ignored NASCAR’s own mess of a website completely
- Used “NASCAR 2018 schedule confirmed” search terms
- Stuck with trusted third-party motorsport databases
- Screenshot the schedule before the site timed out
Pro tip: always double-check race times closer to event dates. Found out later they changed Talladega’s start time twice that season. Typical NASCAR chaos.
