For some states that are willing to be the first host of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) races even without fans, the race is on. On his Twitter account, on Monday, Texas Governor Gregg Abbott posted that NASCAR was in collaboration with Texas Motor Speedway on a plan to race in the state.

Relatively, Gov. Abbott said, he hopes to "announce the exciting details" soon. More so, the governor added, to prevent COVID-19 from spreading, the race would happen without the presence of the fans. But the good news is, he happily shared, they would come up with an excellent show for TV.

Meanwhile, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has already spoken to Lesa France Kennedy, the Dayton Beach-based NASCAR executive, to potentially put both the Daytona International Speedway and NASCAR-controlled Homestead-Miami Speedway in a play, one of these days.

Following the announcement of Gov. Abbott, Eddie Gossage, the president of Texas Motor Speedway said, his track was in the works to reschedule its "Cup Series event," one of the eight racing competitions NASCAR postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Races Continue

According to NASCAR, it is planning to run all of its 32 races left. Incidentally, the Texas Race, this year's first of two, at the 1-1/2-mile Forth Worth track, was set for March 29. According to Gossage, Texas Motor Speedway is going to aggressively work with TV networks and the approving bodies, to give the American people, and the even the people all over the world, a welcome distraction in this time of crisis.

In addition, a non-watcher event is said to be imperfect since, in this kind of sport, Gossage elaborated, "The fans come first." However, he added, conditions are such that this is a unique and innovative answer for the comeback of sport at the moment. At present, a specific schedule is being worked on.

Marcus Smith, the Chief Executive Officer of Speedway Motorsports, also expressed his eagerness to work with Roy Cooper, the governor of North Carolin, to guarantee that the "Coca-Cola 600 runs" set for May 24 pushes through.

More Racing Opportunities for NASCAR

The lawmakers of the Republican state have asked the governor, known to be a Democrat, to consent showcasing of the race. For six decades now, said Smith, they want to do all things possible to shop their support to NASCAR, the numerous race teams in North Carolina, and the enthusiasts "to get back on track." 

As states start to reduce restriction regulations intended for the prevention of the spreading of the infectious illness, there are more chances for NASCAR to go back on the road for racing competitions.

Races could ultimately get to Atlanta Motor Speedway, Bristol Motor Speedway, or Darlington, where race teams were getting ready to compete when a national state of emergency was issued in the middle of March, and the season was subsequently suspended.
