The season will begin at Road America, with the Texaco 250, then at Daytona International Speedway with the Busch Clash and its qualifier, the Gatorade Duel qualifying races and the 62nd running of the Daytona 500. The season will end with the Folds of Honor QuikTrip 400 at Atlanta Motor Speedway on December 14, 2020. This will be the final season for the Strictly Stock Car, as a new car, dubbed the Strictly Stock Car 2.0, is slated to debut in 2021.

Manufacturer changes

 * Mercury, Oldsmobile, and Studebaker will re-enter NASCAR competition, fielding the Sable, Cutlass, and Commander, respectively.
 * JTG Daugherty Racing and Premium Motorsports will switch to Dodge, marking the return of the Charger to the Cup Series; the Charger last ran in the Cup Series in 2012, and had been running in the Grand National Series (without factory support until 2017), as well as being the primary Dodge model in the K&N Pro Series and ARCA Racing Series.
 * Chevrolet upgraded the Camaro ZL1 to the ZL1 1LE model. The change was made primarily due to the pointed nose of the base ZL1 causing large multicar wrecks at Daytona and Talladega when attempting to push.
