NASCAR to cancel races

Cancelling races for next two weekends. Atlanta and Miami.

“NASCAR has decided to postpone the race events at Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend and Homestead-Miami Speedway next weekend. We believe this decision is in the best interest of the safety and well-being of our fans, competitors, officials and everyone associated with our sport. We will continue to monitor this dynamic situation as we assess future race events.”

Not a huge NASCAR fan, but I do watch it occasionally, especially Daytona.

I'm more of an NHRA fan, and it looks like they're going to follow suit. Found this at the NHRA website...
