“The one fortunate part of this latter part of the season and the playoffs is we were able to keep the original tracks and dates intact when it came to the Cup Series, but definitely they have had to be flexible with integrating some of the other series into those events so that they had a good championship schedule as well,” Scott Miller, NASCAR svp of competition, said in a release. “It has been again, just like everything else, just a lot of great teamwork between the teams, NASCAR and the venues.”
NASCAR will determine if fans are allowed entrance to Cup races on a market-by-market basis, in accordance with local and state guidelines. The announcement did not specify if fans will be allowed to attend Xfinity or Truck series races.
