CHARLOTTE, N.C. – NASCAR’s All-Star Race will be a midweek event on July 15 at Charlotte Motor Speedway as part of a new revision to the schedule that runs through the first weekend of August.
NASCAR already has rescheduled races through June 21, and the update released Thursday begins the next weekend at Pocono Raceway. The Pennsylvania track will host an ARCA race, a Truck Series race, two Cup Series races on consecutive days and an Xfinity Series race.
NASCAR will then move to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for a July 4 weekend event combined with the IndyCar Series – which will finally begin its 2020 season Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway – and then it is on to Kentucky Speedway, the All-Star Race at Charlotte and then Texas.
Kansas Speedway will host the Cup Series for a Thursday night race July 23, and New Hampshire Motor Speedway will host the Cup Series on Aug. 2 in the final event announced in this latest revised schedule. NASCAR canceled eight points races in the Cup Series and the All-Star Race during a 10-week shutdown for the coronavirus pandemic.
NASCAR has so far run nine national series events – five in the Cup Series – since it resumed May 17 without spectators.
NASCAR made no mention if spectators will be allowed at any of the events – Indianapolis, Kentucky and Kansas all said Thursday their events would not have fans – and its leadership has not been available for public comment since May 17.
