UPDATE: NASCAR postpones next two races due to concerns of COVID-19

NASCAR has postponed its next two races as concerns continue to rise on the spread of COVID-19.

The stock car body was scheduled to conduct its next two races at Atlanta and Homestead-Miami Speedway without fans. On Friday, officials decided to change their mind and postpone both events.

Bristol Motor Speedway says they are currently no changes to its race weekend, scheduled for April 2nd-5th, and track officials say they will add hand-washing stations in certain areas, distribute hand sanitizer, and deep clean high trafficked areas.

NASCAR says they will continue to monitor the coronavirus situation to assess future race events.
