(yahoosports) Per multiple reports, NASCAR has sent teams a tentative schedule outlining the Cup Series’ return to action in less than three weeks.
The schedule, according to both The Athletic and Autoweek, includes a 400-mile race on Sunday, May 17, at Darlington. A second race at the famed track would then happen on May 20 ahead of the Coca-Cola 600 as scheduled on May 24.
Darlington would be the spot to restart the season because South Carolina officials have expressed their willingness to host a NASCAR race in the immediate future and because it’s within driving distance of Charlotte, where most teams and drivers are based.
A revised schedule through June 14 would see NASCAR make up races at Martinsville, Bristol, Atlanta and Homestead that were postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic and replace originally scheduled races at Kansas, Michigan and Sonoma.
Kansas would have the ability to host a possible midweek race in the evening because it has lights.
