Sports Business Journal’s Adam Stern reports that NASCAR has been in contact with North Carolina officials to get team personnel classified as essential so they can begin working on cars at the race shops.
Florida Ron DeSantis says he has talked to NASCAR about running in the state. With Homestead being the second race postponed this year, it would be a logical choice for an early race once competition restarts.
.@NASCAR is looking at running without fans for around four to five weeks and will start where it can based on state/local guidelines, per sources.
