Drivers in the NASCAR Cup Series, Xfinity Series, and Gander Mountain Truck Series will all get back on the racetrack in May even if there won’t be fans in the stands.

Races start at Darlington Raceway with a cup series race on Sunday, May 17 in the sport’s official return to racing.

“NASCAR and its teams are eager and excited to return to racing, and have great respect for the responsibility that comes with a return to competition,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer, in a statement.
