With new rules and a new normal, NASCAR set to return this weekend
On Sunday at Darlington, NASCAR will return to the racetrack for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic forced it to pack up and abandon Atlanta Motor Speedway on March 13, as teams were preparing their cars for the weekend's first practice session ahead of what was supposed to be the season's fifth race.
Random draw gives Brad Keselowski pole at Darlington
Series officials split the drivers into three groups of 12 based on points, filling spots 1-12, 13-24 and 25-36 with a random draw. Now, without qualifications, practice runs or fans, those cars will line up on one of NASCAR's most prestigious tracks for the first major race since March.

NASCAR returns and Darlington delivers, despite sport's new normal
The hours leading up to Sunday's 400-mile race at Darlington Raceway -- actually, the months leading up to it -- were so strange. The moments immediately following the event, as Kevin Harvick reached a rarely achieved career milestone and did his celebratory donuts in front of an empty grandstand, they too were like nothing NASCAR has ever felt or seen before.

Rain postpones Charlotte's 2nd Cup Series race until Thursday
Rain washed out the Cup Series race Wednesday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway -- a slight break for NASCAR teams taxed by a grueling return to racing. The race was rescheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m. ET, which in turn forced NASCAR to move the Xfinity Series race scheduled for Saturday at Bristol Motor Speedway. The turnaround time is too difficult for broadcast partner Fox Sports to leave North Carolina and quickly rebuild its setup in Tennessee under social distancing guidelines.

Chase Elliott ends Kyle Busch's Truck Series winning streak, earns $100K bounty
Chase Elliott snapped Kyle Busch's seven-race Truck Series winning streak and collected a $100,000 bounty for beating NASCAR's most successful truck driver on Tuesday at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Kevin Harvick announced before the race that he would donate $50,000 to COVID-19 relief for any full-time Cup driver who finished ahead of Busch. Marcus Lemonis, the CEO of Gander RV & Outdoors, which sponsors the Truck Series, agreed to match Harvick's pledge, bringing the total to $100,000 for pandemic relief.

Brad Keselowski wins at Bristol Motor Speedway after late collision
Brad Keselowski has a new crew and is fighting for a new contract at Team Penske. His confidence is still intact and he's convinced he can compete for a championship this year. Being in the right place at the right time is helping.
Keselowski inherited his second win in a week when the leaders crashed in front of him with a lap remaining Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway. He won the Coca-Cola 600 even nights ago at Charlotte Motor Speedway when a caution with two laps remaining helped him get to victory lane. "I felt like I was in Las Vegas," Keselowski said about the Bristol win. "I went from having a bad hand to a full house real quick." Keselowski held on for that victory at Elliott's expense and now is the first driver to win multiple races in the five Cup events since NASCAR resumed May 17.

Kevin Harvick dominates in Atlanta for 51st career Cup victory
After another dominant performance at one of his favorite tracks, Kevin Harvick relished the past and looked ahead to the future. He wasn't entirely focused on what he can do behind the wheel. Harvick cruised to victory Sunday over Kyle Busche and Martin truex Jr. in the NASCAR Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, leading the final 55 laps on a day that began with the series acknowledging the social unrest in the country. Before taking the green flag, the 40 cars stopped in front of the towering, empty grandstands on the front stretch to listen to a message from NASCAR president Steve Phelps and observe a 30-second moment of silence in the wake of George Floyd's death while in police custody. Harvick won for the second time since NASCAR returned from the shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic, adding to his emotional victory at Darlington in the first race back.
