NASCAR Xfinity Series: Start times, networks revealed for 2020
By Asher Fair
The start times and television networks for each of the 33 races on the 2020 NASCAR Xfinity Series schedule have been announced.
Not even two months after the 33-race 2019 NASCAR Xfinity Series season began in mid-February, the 33-race schedule for the 2020 season was confirmed by NASCAR in early April.
However, the start times and the television networks for these 33 races were not confirmed upon the release of next year’s schedule.
Now both have been revealed for the entire season, which spans from mid-February through early November.
