While 2017 is a year full of changes for the real-life sport, this update is more focused on rosters than rules. As such, aspects of the real-life season such as the stages format for races or the new Phoenix start/finish line are not included in this update. Publisher DMR hasn’t officially announced the next NASCAR game, but has stated that it intends to release a NASCAR game annually. So, we’re sure the new rules and changes for 2017 will be available in a different title in the future.
UPDATE: (2-14) More details can be seen on the official website.
Due to the production timeline, the 2017 Team Update does not include the recently announced rule changes, Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series branding, or any track changes such as the new Phoenix Start/Finish line.
