NASCAR schedule released (May 17-June 21, 2020)

Another portion of NASCAR’s plan to restart has been released; Iowa Speedway axed from schedules

NASCAR is back in full force.

Today, NASCAR announced further plans for the 2020 schedule. Five tracks have been added for May 30-June 21st.

Tracks include: Bristol Motor Speedway, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway.

The schedule includes races for the NASCAR Cup Series, NASCAR Xfinity Series, NASCAR Truck Series and ARCA Menards Series.

“All the dates below will continue to be run without fans in attendance. The remainder of the adjusted schedule for all NASCAR series will be announced at a later date,” NASCAR said in a statement.

“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,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer.

O’Donnell added, “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.” 

NASCAR is set to restart with seven races in 11-days. All of those races will be run at Charlotte Motor Speedway or Darlington Raceway.

That caused at least one race from Richmond Raceway, Sonoma Raceway and Chicagoland Speedway to be removed.

New postponements / cancellations

New postponements: 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 previously scheduled for June 5.

New Cancellation: All NASCAR national series races and the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour events at Iowa Speedway have been canceled for the 2020 season. The NASCAR Xfinity race at Iowa Speedway scheduled for June 13 has been realigned to Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday, June 14. Further Iowa Speedway realignment dates will be announced in the future.

Beyond that, the schedule looks like this…
