ORIGINAL POST: Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern reported that NASCAR had a conference call with team owners Monday morning to discuss how the sport moves forward.
While NASCAR has only postponed events at Atlanta and Homestead, the Centers for Disease Control is currently recommending the cancellation or postponement of any events with more than 50 people for the next 8 weeks. That could potentially impact races at Texas, Bristol, Richmond, Talladega, Dover, and Martinsville.
.@NASCAR is expected to release a statement this afternoon announcing its upcoming schedule plan amid the CDC's eight-week event ban recommendation.
➖ Exact plan not yet clear but the industry is clearly expecting multiple additonal races to be postponed due to the coronavirus. pic.twitter.com/ecA9TdQNuG

AND:
NASCAR talked to teams, from my understanding, in a quick discussion that all options on table when trying to reschedule postponed races but the goal is to reschedule all/as many as possible of the races that are postponed. … No announcement yet on schedule beyond Homestead. https://t.co/Rfd8pZ4hhz
