Indications are that the NASCAR Cup schedule will resume as early at Sunday, May 17 at Darlington Raceway. What about the lower series? Frontstretch’s Dustin Albino looked into it:
Sources have told Frontstretch it could potentially be anywhere from two to four weeks following the May 17 start date that other divisions, like Xfinity, would return to the racetrack. The plan is still to get all 33 races in, though the dates are still fluid.
There is a scheduled meeting with select Xfinity team owners in the coming days to lay out a potential resumption of the season. NASCAR is expected to survey owners to see if multiple races on the same weekend, in different states, would be feasible to accomplish.
The sport’s Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series also remains in limbo. But there’s less urgency in getting it back up and running with only 21 events remaining on their schedule.

WTF? Darlington is suppose to be the first Chase Race in September...
