NASCAR

NASCAR on Thursday announced its next series of races, which will include stops at five tracks — Bristol Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway.

The next set of races will begin at Bristol, with an Xfinity race on May 30 followed by a Cup Series race the following day.

Events are scheduled through June 21, when a Cup series race will be held at Talladega.

All events will be run without fans, NASCAR said.

NASCAR will return from its suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic with a Cup race at Darlington on Sunday.

“As we prepare for our return to racing at Darlington Raceway on Sunday, the industry has been diligent in building the return-to-racing schedule,” Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer, said in a statement. “We are eager to expand our schedule while continuing to work closely with the local governments in each of the areas we will visit. We thank the many government officials for their guidance, as we share the same goal in our return — the safety for our competitors and the communities in which we race.”

Also Thursday, NASCAR announced the postponement of events at Kansas Speedway (May 30-31), Michigan International Speedway (June 5-7), the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Mid-Ohio (May 30) and the Gander Trucks Series race at Texas Motor Speedway (June 5).

All NASCAR national series races and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour event at Iowa Speedway were canceled this year.
