NASCAR Announces Big News for Fans Ahead of Tonight’s Darlington Draw

NASCAR will telecast the Darlington Qualifying race tonight. Earlier it was announced that they will only start the broadcast on Sunday.

Journalist Bob Pockrass announces in a tweet. “The Darlington qualifying draw will now be televised. Tonight NASCAR Race Hub at 6 pm ET on FS1 @NASCARONFOX“

The news came as a joy for fans as they will be able to watch the live draw on Race Hub. As there is no qualifying in Darlington, this is all that fans can see before the actual race on Sunday.

Additionally, Bob told a fan on Twitter that NASCAR will be giving free access to the radio broadcast of the race on their Scanner app. Scanner will allow the users to listen to the live radio communications between the drivers and teams. It gives access to an exclusive official radio channel to follow NASCAR Cup Series race management communications.

A Reddit user gave a small preview of the NASCAR return

Today, a Reddit user posts a small video from the track. He claims that it is a sneak peek from the venue of the first Fanless race in NASCAR. The video shows cars racing around the track with empty stands. Usually the cheering of the fans compliment the roaring of cars. However, this time it won’t be possible due to the Coronavirus restrictions.

NASCAR’s Fanless racing return comes with some restrictions.

In addition to the nonattendance of fans in the stands, the game is causing a couple of changes to attempt to guarantee the safety of the teams. There will be no practice session and qualifying races before any of the races except for the Coca-Cola 600. For the first time, we will witness a virtual national anthem at Darlington. Additionally, NASCAR has restricted any handshakes or hugs during the celebratory events after the race. Everyone will maintain social distancing throughout the race.
