While the LLWS is canceled, the Associated Press reported NASCAR will make its return on May 17 at Darlington Raceway in South Carolina – without fans – and the Cup Series will race three more times in the ten following days. There will be no practice or qualifying prior to the restart.

The drivers will return to Darlington for a midweek race on May 20 before heading to Charlotte, North Carolina, for the Coca-Cola 600 on May 24, as well as another midweek race. The lower-tier Xfinity and Truck series will also race at the two tracks.

“NASCAR has set guidelines to safely hold the events using CDC guidelines on social distancing and personal protective equipment,” the AP reported.
