NASCAR President Steve Phelps says his organization has 'taken the return to racing very seriously.'
NASCAR President Steve Phelps is promising "the best race and racing experience possible every time we hit the racetrack."
"Our drivers, race teams and officials have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get back to the race track and we want to assure you that we have taken the return to racing very seriously," Phelps wrote. NASCAR was facing a financial collapse if live races didn’t resume on national television. So the sanctioning body had its health plan approved in South Carolina and North Carolina and released an aggressive schedule that included 20 races across seven Southern states between now and June 21.
