With nine upcoming Cup Series races announced through June 21, NASCAR says it 'has a plan in place to minimize any risks associated with the virus.'

NASCAR vice president of racing operations John Bobo said during a media teleconference on April 30:

, fans will not be in attendance. Additionally, NASCAR said there will be"strict limits" for who is allowed at the tracks and infields."If you think about a normal NASCAR race, we have between 2,000 and 2,500 people who will be part of putting a race on. That number will be down to about 900. There's a footprint that is there. Only essential personnel will be allowed to be in the footprint. I am not essential personnel; I will not be in the footprint.

Weekend schedules related to practice, qualifying and one-day trips for the second slate of upcoming races have not been announced yet.While NASCAR is not testing drivers and other personnel, it said its medical liaisons can provide counsel and support for someone who might need a test or help getting one. It's likely that every potential situation will be different, and let's not forget that drivers and team members have their own doctors to consult too.
