NASCAR announced Tuesday a plan to introduce the return of fans to its race events, which includes the GEICO 500 NASCAR Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.

NASCAR said it will reintroduce guests at select NASCAR Cup Series races beginning with the Dixie Vodka 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on June 14 and the GEICO 500 at Talladega Superspeedway on Father’s Day, June 21. NASCAR said the plan was finalized after receiving guidance from public health officials, medical experts, and local, state, and federal officials. To adhere to social distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic, no more than 5,000 guests will be allowed to sit in the front-stretch grandstands for the GEICO 500 NASCAR Cup Series race. In addition, 44 motor home/fifth-wheel camping spots will be available outside the track high atop the Alabama Gang Superstretch.
