NASCAR Reschedules Talladega Superspeedway’s Geico 500 for Father’s Day

By Dennis Washington

NASCAR says it will race at Talladega Superspeedway on June 21 as the sport restarts its season after the COVID-19 pandemic stalled competitions in March.

NASCAR on Thursday released its next wave of races in the realigned 2020 schedule, all of which will be held without fans in attendance as restrictions and safeguards related to the pandemic remain in effect.

“As we prepare for our return to racing at Darlington Raceway on Sunday, the industry has been diligent in building the return-to-racing schedule,” said Steve O’Donnell, NASCAR executive vice president and chief racing development officer. “We are eager to expand our schedule while continuing to work closely with the local governments in each of the areas we will visit. We thank the many government officials for their guidance, as we share the same goal in our return – the safety for our competitors and the communities in which we race.”
