NASCAR Rumors: Here Are Details Of Latest Plan To Resume 2020 Season
NASCAR fans might not have to wait much longer for their sport to return.
A mid-May race at a track within driving distance of Charlotte is being targeted as a potential path toward re-starting the 2020 season, Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern reported Monday. NASCAR suspended its season after the March 8 race in Phoenix due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Darlington Raceway reportedly is a candidate to host the race, which could take place a week before the Coca-Cola 600 (scheduled for May 24) at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Here’s Stern’s report:
