While NASCAR is resuming the Cup Series, the Darlington race will be far from ordinary. The Cup Series skipped both practice and qualifying heats. In addition, there will be no fans in the stands.
The race follows the launch of The Real Heroes Project, a collaborative initiative by 14 sports leagues, including NASCAR, to recognize and pay tribute to medical professionals fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Starting lineups will be set by random draws for charter teams based on owner points.
