The NASCAR America crew previews the Toyota 500, who the favorites are, the difficulty of the track and if Hendrick Motorsports, led by Jimmie Johnson and Alex Bowman, can bounce back in the second Cup series race.

With the exception of qualifying being held for Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600, NASCAR will continue to forego practice and qualifying for upcoming Cup races at Bristol, Atlanta, Martinsville and Miami.

As has been the case for Sunday and Wednesday’s races at Darlington Raceway, teams will arrive at each track on race day, personnel will go through a temperature screen, haulers will be unloaded and the race will be contested.

The races will continue to not admit fans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here’s a breakdown of the Cup races after Sunday’s Coca-Cola 600:

Sunday, May 31 at Bristol Motor Speedway: Screening from 7:30 a.m. to 3 pm ET, engine prime and final adjustments from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m., drivers report to their vehicles at 3:20 p.m. and race starts at 3:30 p.m. The race will be 500 laps/266.5 miles.

Sunday, June 7 at Atlanta Motor Speedway: Screening from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. ET, engine prime and adjustments from 1 to 2 p.m., drivers report to their vehicles at 2:50 p.m. and race starts at 3 p.m. The race will be 325 laps/500.5 miles.

Wednesday, June 10 at Martinsville Speedway: Screening from 11 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET, engine prime and final adjustments from 5 to 6 p.m., drivers report to their vehicles at 6:50 p.m. and the race starts at 7 p.m. The race will be 500 laps/263 miles.

Sunday, June 14 at Homestead-Miami Speedway: Screening from 11:30 a.m. to 7 pm ET, engine prime and final adjustments from 6 to 7 p.m., drivers report to vehicles at 7:20 p.m. and the race stars at 7:30 p.m. The race will be 267 laps/400.5 miles.
