I mean I did say Poole would have the best rookie year...and he is beating Bell so far.

Just goes to show you have tough the cup series is. Christopher Bell is probably one of the best drivers in America, and yet has really struggled this season. I know it’s early but whoa does he look like a rookie
 
I suspect they'll either race to halfway or have to run it in chunks.

Hey, NASCAR, here's an idea. If it looks like it's going to start raining heavily just after a stage break, why not throw the red then? Just a suggestion from the cheap seats.

This is definitely a fluid situation. I can't believe how much changed in the sports world (world in general) since I woke up this morning. They stopped an NBA game right before tip-off, fans in the stands, and postponed it. If you're planning on attending definitely keeping checking the status as we get later in the week.

The one unique thing about NASCAR is all the sponsors. If those folks get nervous about having their name associated with the race given what's going on they'll have a say....

It’s Wednesday.

By Friday, I will be very surprised if NASCAR and the racetrack are still planning to run this event in the normal manner.
 
The outdoor sports have been fortunate. The open air nature of attending a nascar race may be enough to protect it. The only closure for that so far is Washington state where the governor has banned gatherings of 250 people or more. Hopefully that remains an isolated action. Hopefully....

Also, I hope they are testing on-site to the teams, facility personnel, media members, etc. Everyone who is apart of the travel should be tested. If NASCAR decides to continue with the schedule, I doubt it will continue to to push on, but who knows?

I just want everyone to be safe in the end. I'm still pumped with NASCAR, IndyCar, and F1 are all continuing this week.
 
AMS offered open garage passes for Saturday as a selling point for part of their top tier ticket package this weekend. Have to imagine those are getting revoked.
 
Homestead has been postponed.

Enjoy Atlanta, it may be the last race for a while.

Good thing the timing is off by 2 weeks. Imagine if I'd flown up to Fontana to have my ticket cancelled. :eek:
 
Well this just flat out sucks. Now comes the pain of getting my money back from the hotel I booked.
