NASCAR plans to use mufflers at the Busch Light Clash and the Chicago Street Race in 2024 to reduce sound levels by 4-6 decibels. The road course races will reintroduce stage breaks for 2024. Changes at Watkins Glen International will remove rumble strips. The NASCAR Xfinity series will switch to a smaller 9-gallon dump can to reduce weight, and the rear windshield will have slats to address heat in the cars. The Xfinity starting field will remain at 38 cars, and NASCAR expects 44-45 cars at Daytona and around 40 full-time teams in 2024. The Truck Series will have 36 full-time teams in 2024, with roughly 38 trucks at Daytona. Charlotte, Gateway, and Nashville will be triple truck challenge races. Ford and Toyota have made interesting comments looking ahead to the 2024 season.

Xfinity and trucks will go to a 9 gallon gas can. Was 11 gallons. Should decrease weight by 10-15 pounds.
Xfinity starting field will remain at 38. #NASCAR expects between 44-45 cars at Daytona and around 40 teams full-time in 2024.
Xfinity/Truck Series moves to a 9-gallon dump can for fuel. Holds two gallons less than current can. Why? Teams wanted to have option for a smaller/older/weaker person being able to be the gas man/woman instead of spending $$ on a big pit crew athlete.
Starting this year the NASCAR Xfinity series will switch to a smaller 9 gallon dump can. Takes off 10-15 pounds. https://t.co/82hcdFwjD0
#NASCAR Xfinity Series teams will utilize a 9-gallon gas can in 2024.
Another issue for teams in the @XfinityRacing Series, is pitting and fuel cans - they will go to a nine gallon fuel can. Two gallons less to reduce weight that came from team to #NASCAR.
#NASCAR Xfinity will utilize a 9-gallon gas can this year
Xfinity Series drivers have talked to NASCAR about the heat in the cars, and this year the rear windshield will have slits in them like the Cup Series car.

Xfinity cars will have rear window slits in them like the Cup car.
Road course races without stage breaks did not work out the way #NASCAR had planned w/ sub-two hour events, so they will be back at all events for 2024, which was previously announced.
There will also be changes made by #NASCAR to the bus stop area at @WGI to remove the rumble strips
#NASCAR says the muffler will be continued to utilized at The Clash and the Chicago Street Course in 2024. The reduction in decibels is between 4 and 6. #NASCAR
#NASCAR only plans to run mufflers at the #BuschLightClash and the @NASCARChicago Street Race in 2024. Part of their R&D efforts.
MUFFLERS - #NASCAR ran them last year at the #BuschLightClash and the @NASCARChicago street race, sound ways, great but drivers unhappy. Will be changing for durability reasons, will exit where regular exhaust exits.
