Shocking: Multiple NASCAR Teams Report Positive Cases of Coronavirus

Last Friday, Stewart-Haas Racing announced that two of its race shop workers have contracted COVID-19. These are one of the first NASCAR employees to test positive for the disease.

The recent cases are the first appearance of the virus in NASCAR’s backyard. The series returned from lockdown last month and has been successful in curbing the spread of the virus. There isn’t a single case of COVID-19 among the team members who attended the races.

Stewart Haas Racing gave an official statement on the issues. Motorsports.com posted the SHR team’s statement in a recent post. The statement said, “Stewart-Haas Racing has experienced two positive COVID-19 test results, neither of which involved personnel who travel to race events.”

They added, “Robust protocols have been in place and continue to be followed diligently to mitigate the spread of the virus while maintaining the health and safety of all members of the organization and greater community.”
