CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The governor of North Carolina said Tuesday that NASCAR can go forward with the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway without fans in attendance at the end of May unless health conditions deteriorate in the state.

Cooper said the state offered input on NASCAR's plan, but he believes the race can go forward on Memorial Day weekend for the 60th consecutive year.

YES !!! I wonder how many other Locals will Park outside the Track just to hear the Engine noise and maybe get a whiff of Hot Tyre Rubber ?
And with that thought I wonder how many people are going to be flying Drones over the Track ? It could be the first time in history of Racing that Rednecks get into a Hatfield and McCoy Ground to Air Battle blasting the others Drone with a Shotgun ?
The Captain has so much money that he could buy F1 and IMSA, too.
LOL !!! I’d love to see that happen. Then next in line could be Aussie Supercars, Etc.
It's probably a blast to do. Watching someone else do it for hours just isn't my thing. Went to YouTube and viewed the 1953 Darlington Southern 500. That was pretty entertaining.
LOL indeed
And he has three great drivers, including Connecticut’s Joey ‘Sliced Bread’ Logano. Brad Kesolowski and Ryan Blanket are great drivers, too. The Captain’s first win was with Mark Donahue with an AMX...
I watched a few old NASCAR races the past few weeks...and a few modifies in the Northeast, too.
