Endurance Race Format
The endurance races are typically three hours in length, and on many race weekends there are double races, with one race on Saturday afternoon and the second on Sunday afternoon. One night race was run at Nashville Superspeedway, and the format of that event was altered slightly to run two one-hour "sprint races", with a 20-minute break in the middle.

Famous quotes containing the words endurance and/or race:
“The poet is no tender slip of fairy stock, who requires peculiar institutions and edicts for his defense, but the toughest son of earth and of Heaven, and by his greater strength and endurance his fainting companions will recognize the God in him. It is the worshipers of beauty, after all, who have done the real pioneer work of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature—were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
