Nascar sets out plans to resume racing on May 17

Organisers of the Nascar motor-racing series have announced plans to resume racing on May 17 with a Nascar Cup Series event at the Darlington Raceway in South Carolina.

The 400-mile race will be held without fans in attendance and will be Nascar’s first on-track action in more than two months after the series was suspended in March due to the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic.

The Darlington event will be the first of seven races over an 11-day span at two different race-tracks throughout May, with all other races set to take place at the Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina.

An Xfinity Series event will run at the Darlington Raceway on 19 May, followed by another Nascar Cup Series race on 20 May.
