Keselowski on pole as NASCAR returns. MORE:
DARLINGTON, S.C. — NASCAR will not be as you remember it when racing returns at old egg-shaped Darlington Raceway.
It will be weird and look nothing like it did 10 weeks ago when NASCAR last raced before its season was suspended by the coronavirus pandemic. But as sports fans across the country have clamoured for live action, it will be a rare opportunity for NASCAR to be alone in the spotlight and showcase its product — perhaps even to viewers who have long expressed zero interest in stock car racing.
Since joining SHR in 2014, Harvick has a win at Darlington, six top-10s in six appearances and is coming off consecutive fourth-place finishes at the 1.366-mile oval. But he cautioned against automatic success since the last available notes from the track are from last September, when the race started in the day and ended under the lights.
But the two-time Daytona 500 winner and former series champion agreed to complete the season for Ganassi after a more than a year out of a Cup car. Kenseth has never competed at this level in a Chevrolet or in NASCAR's current aerodynamic package, but he is a former Darlington winner and one of the most respected drivers in the sport.
Reigning series champion Kyle Busch and Timmy Hill, breakout star of the iRacing Series run during the shutdown, are taking it even further as they plan to compete in all seven events scheduled in May.
