The much anticipated return of NASCAR racing amid the COVID-19 pandemic was announced Thursday.

Racing is scheduled to resume with the Cup Series on May 17 at Darlington Raceway.

It will be part of seven races scheduled run through May 27, including races for the Xfinity Series and the Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series. All will be one day events.
