After a nearly two-month interruption in the competitive schedule, the NASCAR Cup Series will return to racing this Sunday at the sport’s historic Darlington Raceway in The Real Heroes 400 .
No spectators will be in attendance at the upcoming single-day events — part of the health precautions NASCAR has adopted in re-starting the sport following the pause caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. But fans, drivers, teams and the NASCAR organization are enthusiastic about the opportunity to throw the green flag this weekend and to do so at one of the sport’s most iconic racing venues.
Former NASCAR Cup Series champion Matt Kenseth will also be back behind the wheel, making his first start since the 2018 Homestead-Miami season finale; the last of a 15-race stint for him, ironically, in the No. 6 Roush Ford. For the remainder of this season, Kenseth will be steering the Chip Ganassi Racing No. 42 Chevrolet.
Stewart-Haas Racing driver Kevin Harvick shows up at Darlington as the current NASCAR Cup Series points leader with a one-point advantage on Team Penske’s Joey Logano, who had already earned two victories in the season’s first four races.
