On Tuesday, August 4th, NASCAR announced an updated schedule for the 2020 NASCAR Pinty’s Series, comprised of three twin-125 race weekends. The six-race season will feature two races apiece, beginning at Sunset Speedway on August 15th, followed by Flamboro Speedway on August 29th and the season finale at Jukasa Speedway on September 12th. In adherence to local, provincial and federal guidelines, no spectators will be permitted to attend.
Due to the shortened schedule, no Pinty’s Series champion or Rookie of the Year will be crowned in 2020. However, there will be special recognition for the overall winner of the shortened season based on points earned.
“While we are disappointed that we are unable to run our intended schedule in front of fans, we’re looking forward to the return of racing in Canada,” said Chad Seigler, NASCAR vice president of international business development and partnerships. “I want to thank our friends at Pinty’s for helping us get back on the race track. We are working closely with local and provincial officials and our teams and drivers to put on safe events that are respectful of new regulations from the ongoing pandemic.”
All races will air delayed on TSN and RDS in Canada and MAVTV in the United States. The full broadcast schedule, including start times, will be released at a later date.
