NASCAR Cup Series Race: Updated Schedule for Thursday Night’s Race at Charlotte Motor Speedway

NASCAR Alsco Uniforms 500 will now run on Thursday night. Heavy rains forced the series to postpone the Wednesday night race hours before the launch time. Notably, the probability of rain spoiling the party again is still there.

The race will now start on Thursday night at 7:00 PM EST at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The track saw major racing action in the last week as it hosted the Coca-Cola 600 followed by an Xfinity Series race and a truck series race.

The race is 208 laps (312 miles) around the 1.5-mile oval. And will run in two stages. Thursday’s starting lineup alters the best 20 finishers from Sunday’s race. Which means Keselowski will begin twentieth in the 310-mile race. While, William Byron, who finished twentieth on Sunday, starts at the pole.

As a tribute to all the health care workers across the country ‘Atrium Health Sports Medicine Teammates’ will give the order to start the engines. And the green flag will be waving at 7:25 PM starting the race.

As per the directions of race control, drivers will have the chance to run one pace lap down pit lane before the green flag for a pit lane speed check goes off. On the off chance that a driver stops in the pit box in any way like a pull over or slow down, they will begin at the back of the field.
