NASCAR Updates Schedule, Keeps Early Races Within Driving Distance

NASCAR issued a revised schedule on Thursday that has Cup teams racing "five times from May 30-June 21," with four of those races on Sundays, according to Dustin Long of NBCSPORTS.com. The lone Wednesday race is "scheduled for June 10 at Martinsville Speedway," on the day Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam's "stay-at-home order expires." The four Sunday Cup races "will be at Bristol, Atlanta, Miami and Talladega." All the events "will be run without fans in attendance." Meanwhile, NASCAR announced the "cancellation of all national series races ... at Iowa Speedway" for the '20 season. NASCAR also announced the "postponement of events" at Kansas Speedway (May 30-31), Michigan Int'l Speedway (June 5-7), the Xfinity race at Mid-Ohio (May 30) and the Truck race at Texas Motor Speedway (June 5) (NBCSPORTS.com, 5/14). In Miami, David Wilson notes the trip to Florida to race at Homestead-Miami Speedway on June 14 "will likely be the first to require air travel for NASCAR's primarily Charlotte-based teams." All other races are "scheduled for tracks within a five-hour drive of the city" (MIAMI HERALD, 5/15).
