Dash 4 Cash

Since its inception in 2009, the program has undergone many changes, most notably the addition of heat races in 2016 for qualification for the bonus that were scrapped the following year.

[1] In order to drum up interest in its second-tier series, NASCAR made the Dash 4 Cash before the 2009 season.

Before the 2016 season, NASCAR announced sweeping changes for the program, including adding heat races to determine qualifiers.

[12][13] For 2018, the Phoenix date was taken away and replaced by the spring race at Talladega Superspeedway, making it the first year that all four events were run consecutively.

[14] Additionally, no driver running for NASCAR Cup Series points could participate in the Dash 4 Cash races.

In 2021, the Dash 4 Cash schedule will consist of the first races at Martinsville, Talladega, and Darlington, with the single date at Dover concluding the event.
