The 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series schedule shows no major changes, but there are a few different Spring dates for events on next year’s calendar.

The series will compete 35 times for the sixth consecutive year, starting at Daytona International Speedway on Feb. 13. The April schedule has changed somewhat with races at Nashville Superspeedway, Texas Motor Speedway and Phoenix International Raceway on April 3, 9 and 17, respectively, instead of the Texas-Nashville-Phoenix spring run over the past four years.

Additionally, the first race at Dover International Speedway has been moved from late May to May 15 as a companion event with NASCAR Sprint Cup.

The NASCAR Nationwide Series will have six “stand-alone” events where it is the lone NASCAR national series race of the weekend. With the move of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Gateway International Raceway to July 16, there are now three weekends where the series will race in conjunction with the trucks – at The Milwaukee Mile, at Gateway and at O’Reilly Raceway Park.

The series will race internationally for the sixth consecutive season – and for the fourth straight year – at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal (Aug. 29). That event follows the other road-course race on the schedule, Aug. 7 at Watkins Glen.

The season ends on Nov. 20 with its championship event at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
