NBA faces major health, safety obstacles in return
If you don’t want to ruin a public health official’s day, steer clear of NASCAR’s return-to-play plans.
The sports world has been shut down across America since early March over concerns about the spread of the novel coronavirus, which has claimed the lives of over 100,000 Americans and infected over 2 million.
But on Sunday, NASCAR is planning to open up Homestead-Miami Speedway to 1,000 South Florida service members and honorary guests, making NASCAR the first major sport to allow fans back into the stands. On the following Sunday, on June 21, NASCAR is planning to have 5,000 fans at Talladega Superspeedway in Alabama.
