NASCAR’s first race back after a two-month hiatus is going to have a very different look for the teams and drivers, who will be working under new protocols aimed at preventing the spread of the coronavirus. There will be smaller teams than usual at Darlington Raceway, COVID-19 screening, and social distancing measures around the facility.
But how will it look to fans watching it?
There won’t be any at the track, but the race will be broadcast live on Fox at 3:30 p.m. ET, and the TV team has plenty of hurdles to overcome, as well.
Michael Davies, FOX Sports SVP Field & Technical Operations, told Fox News Autos that Fox Sports will have about half as many people as usual at the track and fewer cameras, but they’ve maintained key angles and will be using a high-speed drone capable of reaching 90 mph to fill in the gaps.
