NASCAR will return to action at Darlington Raceway on May 17, kicking off a packed two-week schedule announced Thursday.

The races themselves will look familiar, but the schedules and routines around those races will not, crafted with the intent of keeping competitors safe from COVID-19.

The 400-mile Cup Series event on May 17 will be the first of seven events in 11 days involving all three NASCAR national series. The revised schedule has a pair of Wednesday races, fulfilling fans' longtime plea for midweek events.
