NASCAR issued a statement on Thursday saying: “All races will be strictly tailored, in every way, to follow specific guidelines set by the Centers for Disease and Prevention. Event procedures will be significantly modified,” and protective equipment, health screenings, and social distancing protocols will be followed, NASCAR said.
You’ll want to refer to the NASCAR list for where to watch individual races, as some events are on the FS1 TV network and others on Fox. If you’re more of a radio person, you can listen on SiriusXM’s NASCAR channel or the Motor Racing Network (MRN) on your local radio affiliate. NASCAR said it will also stream races through its mobile apps and website, meaning you can watch the return of motor racing just about anywhere.
Except in the stands, of course: fans are excluded from all events for now.
