NASCAR reveals rest of 2020 regular season schedule

NASCAR has revealed the remainder of the 2020 regular season schedule, which runs from the second weekend of August until the end of the month.

At the beginning of June, NASCAR revealed the third installment of the return to racing schedule, and that schedule ran from the final weekend of June through the first weekend of August.

Now NASCAR has revealed the remainder of the regular season schedule for the Cup Series, which includes six additional races in August.

Michigan International Speedway is set to host its originally scheduled race on Sunday, August 9, but the rescheduled race at the track from Sunday, June 7 has been moved to Saturday, August 8 to create a doubleheader weekend.

The following weekend on Sunday, August 16, the Cup Series is set to compete at the Daytona International Speedway road course as opposed to Watkins Glen International, as had been speculated given New York’s coronavirus-related travel restrictions.

Dover International Speedway is set to host its originally scheduled race on Sunday, August 23, but the rescheduled race at the track from Sunday, May 3 has been moved to Saturday, August 22 to create a doubleheader weekend.

What remained constant was the fact that the Daytona International Speedway oval is still scheduled to host the regular season finale on Saturday, August 29.

This new installment of the return to racing schedule combined with the current schedule and the 10-race playoff schedule means that the Cup Series is officially back on pace for a full 36-race season despite the unexpected 10-week hiatus caused by the coronavirus pandemic earlier this season.

Additionally, NASCAR revealed race dates for the Xfinity Series and the Truck Series through the final weekend in August as well.

The Xfinity Series is set to race at Road America on Saturday, August 8, the Daytona International Speedway road course on Saturday, August 15, Dover International Speedway on Saturday, August 22 and Sunday, August 23 and the Daytona International Speedway oval on Friday, August 28.

The Xfinity Series race at the Daytona International Speedway road course, like the Cup Series race, was moved from Watkins Glen International.

Additionally, the Xfinity Series will not race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course this season (originally scheduled for Saturday, May 30), and the first race at Michigan International Speedway (originally scheduled for Saturday, June 6) has also been removed from the schedule. The replacement tracks and dates for these two races have not yet been announced.

The Truck Series is set to race at Michigan International Speedway on Friday, August 7, the Daytona International Speedway road course on Sunday, August 16, Dover International Speedway on Friday, August 21 and World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway on Sunday, August 30.

The Truck Series race at the Daytona International Speedway road course was moved from Iowa Speedway.
