It’s important to note that NASCAR races at Atlanta, Homestead, Texas, Bristol, Richmond, Talladega, Dover and Martinsivlle have been postponed, not canceled — at least not yet. NASCAR still intends to hold all 36 Cup Series races in 2020.

Again, for now.

The coronavirus outbreak has brought an unpredictability factor in terms of how all sports, racing included, can proceed. Which is why NASCAR in a previous statement noted it “will continue to monitor this dynamic situation as we assess future race events.”

In other words, more changes can and likely will come.

For now, below is what we know about the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series schedule as it stands, plus the options the sport might weigh as the pandemic continues.

New NASCAR schedule for 2020

Canceled NASCAR races

No NASCAR races have been canceled. As other sports leagues and organizations have experienced with the coronavirus pandemic, that could quickly change.

From NASCAR’s statement: “We intend to hold all 36 races this season, with future rescheduling soon to be determined as we continue to monitor this situation closely with public health officials and medical experts. What is important now transcends the world of sports and our focus is on everyone’s safety and well-being as we navigate this challenging time together.”

It’s currently unclear how canceled races would impact the NASCAR schedule. From Fox Sports’ Bob Pockrass:

Postponed NASCAR races

Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway (March 15) Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway (March 22) O’Reilly Auto Parts 500 at Texas Motor Speedway (March 29) Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway (April 5) Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway (April 19) Geico 500 at Talladega Superspeedway (April 26) Cup Series Race at Dover International Speedway (May 3) Cup Series Race at Martinsville Speedway (May 9)

NASCAR has some options with the eight races currently postponed.

Not including the April 12 weekend, the 2020 schedule features two open weekends (July 26 and Aug. 2), so the postponed races could be rescheduled in any of those slots. They also could be scheduled in the middle of any given week, although the Homestead, Texas and Dover races in particular would present logistics/travel issues for teams.

For what it’s worth, Atlanta Motor Speedway, Homestead-Miami Speedway, Texas Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, Richmond Raceway and Martinsville Speedway have lights.

NASCAR has not announced when and how it will reschedule the races — just that they have been postponed.
