NASCAR Season Suspended Until May Following Coronavirus Pandemic

NASCAR will remain out of action for a bit longer following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Initially set to reschedule two rounds, the series has now decided to postpone seven events.

NASCAR wanted to run its next two races, Atlanta and Homestead, behind closed doors.

The series initially went through with the decision, as all teams made their way to the Georgia oval.

As the situation worsened, NASCAR ultimately decided to postpone both rounds.

A conference call held between the series organizers and the teams led to an extended suspension.

Following the decision to postpone five more races, NASCAR will now remain suspended until May.

Which Races Were Affected by the Decision?

While the initial suspension only affected the Atlanta and Homestead rounds, the most recent decision adds five more races to the list. Texas, Bristol, Richmond, Talladega and Dover have been postponed as well.

Who is the Current NASCAR Cup Series Points Leader?

Kevin Harvick is currently sitting at the top of the standings after four rounds. Despite not winning a race, he is at 164 points, only one more than Joey Logano.

Who is the Reigning NASCAR Cup Series Champion?

Kyle Busch is the current NASCAR Cup Series champion.

Busch won his second title in 2019, repeating his feat from the 2015 season.
