NASCAR has finally decided to postpone the race events at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend and Homestead-Miami Speedway next weekend. This follows days of maneuvering to keep the events going and salvage some revenue from merchandising sales and TV rights.
“We believe this decision is in the best interest of the safety and well-being of our fans, competitors, officials and everyone associated with our sport,” said a NSACAR statement just issued late this morning. “We will continue to monitor this dynamic situation as we assess future race events.”

NASCAR is currently postponing all race events through May 3rd, with plans to return racing in Martinsville. We appreciate the patience of our fans and we look forward to returning to the racetrack. We intend to hold all 36 races this season, with future rescheduling soon to be determined as we continue to monitor this situation closely with public health officials and medical experts.
