On Sunday, the NASCAR Cup Series race will become the first major game in Texas in over four months to permit fans. It could perhaps be the biggest social affair of any sort in the state since the beginning of the Coronavirus pandemic.

In Tennessee, Bristol was permitted to sell up to 30,000 tickets which make about 20% of its ability to host 140,000 or more. It seemed to have at any rate 20,000 fans for NASCAR’s All-Star race Wednesday night.

As per NASCAR.com, this will be the principal trip of NASCAR to the western part of the nation.
