It’s important to note that NASCAR races haven’t been cancelled, yet. But as other sports leagues and organizations are battling the coronavirus pandemic effects, that could quickly change.

What is important now transcends the world of sports and our focus is on everyone’s safety and well-being as we navigate this challenging time together.”
