NASCAR Cup Series: 2020 schedule coronavirus update

Stay up to date on the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series schedule as changes are made to it in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

As sports league after sports league, including the NBA, NHL and MLB, postponed and canceled several major events, NASCAR looked as though it would at least keep holding races amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The drivers and teams were prepared to compete even without fans in attendance.

As the threat of COVID-19 grew, NASCAR made the decision to run the race weekends at Atlanta Motor Speedway (this past weekend) and Homestead-Miami Speedway (next weekend) in front of no fans.

More from NASCAR Cup Series

All three of the sport’s top series (Cup Series, Xfinity Series and Truck Series) had races scheduled at both of these tracks during these two races weekends.

But none of them ended up taking place last weekend and none of them will take place this weekend, as NASCAR ultimately made the decision to push off these events. In fact, they have since docked several other races from the schedules of all three series as well.
