Myrtle Beach will close August 18th. No fans allowed in the stands as of this writing. Florence Motor Speedway tried to run with Fans in the stands and Sherrif shut it down. Modifieds at Martinsville on a tuesday? No fans, no TV?

I figured like in year's past TV broadcast would jump on the mod race since it was originally scheduled to be the preliminary to CUP. Didn't know the Sherriff shut DAHN FMS... Anyways, the radar looks like it's all going north of Darlington/Peedee region, we'll get Xfinity in tonight, I'm picking Brandon Brown to win it.

That's what I thought. Excluding exceptions for Darlington and next week Harbour Town, I think sports venues are still closed. I know there's no attendance permitted.

On the main topic, NASCAR is about to weather test the current schedule. I wonder what track will benefit when these two races are dropped? Did anyone have a rain-out Bold Prediction?

Most of those that were partying during the weekend didnt live in South Carolina.

My sister moved to SC about a year ago and she texted me over the weekend saying she guesses everyone got sick of quarantine so they just opened everything up. Obviously you can't read tone into texts but I took it as, I guess these people don't care lol.

I thought MB was closing. Without paying fans, how can a local track afford to run any series?

I'd think, if the modified tour race at MB is actually happening (which is has been reported on several sites but has not been confirmed by NASCAR yet), considering the series wasn't even planning to race at MB in 2020, it would probably be a case of NASCAR renting the track and footing the bill themselves.
If no fans are allowed, it wouldn't be a money maker, but nascar can afford to take that financial hit. If it is the case, maybe they wanna see what kind of procedures they will need to put in place for their short track touring series events? No idea, just speculation... I'm hoping it does happen, and it is WITH fans, but i think nascar is being overly careful. They dont wanna risk some fans contracting the virus, going to the media claiming they got it there, and having all NASCAR races shut down, even the ones that are only for tv and are making a lot of money...
Who knows...

I guess I'm still a bit surprised they're going to be able to hold the Martinsville race considering how dictatorial the governor of Virginia is.
 
Unfortunately, politics is playing a part in NASCAR's decision on the schedule. Why do you think they cancelled the Chicago and Sonoma events? One, if not both, Michigan races may suffer the same fate. It's terrible, but that is the reality.

Science, not politics at work.
 
^Please keep politics out of this thread or posts might could go missing
 
I really wonder when they will treck north up to Michigan, Dover, New Hampshire and those places or are they just going to run them on the schedule as is when all caught up with these coming races in the South. So many interesting moving parts to consider.

Are they planning on running the full 36 race schedule?
 
If the 4th/5th didn't fall on a weekend I likely could have gone to Indy. As it is Kentucky and NHIS still remain possibilities.

I would absolutely be down for the Michigan double-header if they allow fans!

I have 2/3 (if I went to both Pocono races) events to make up for.
