Get ready for a lot of NASCAR racing on your television in the second half of May.
The sanctioning body made its plans for a mid-May return official on Thursday with a Cup Series race scheduled at Darlington Raceway on May 17. That’ll be the first of seven races over a period of 11 days across NASCAR’s three national series. They will all be held without fans in attendance as the series attempts to safely resume during the coronavirus pandemic.
As was reported Tuesday by multiple outlets, the 400-mile race at Darlington on Sunday, May 17, will be the first of back-to-back races at the track.
